As the evidence against abdominal fat mounts, researchers and clinicians are trying to measure it, correlate it with health risks, and monitor changes that occur with age and overall weight gain or loss. The diets contained in those pages can produce several-pound losses on the scale, but it's not because of something magical that took place within those seven days: Many of those diets are simply high-fiber powerhouses, offering much-needed support to people who frequently need help being "regular" after long periods of eating high-carbohydrate diets rich in processed foods instead of vegetables. Anyone who hasn't had a bowel movement in several days — which can happen to people who eat a lot of meat and potatoes and not a lot of salads — who then eats mostly vegetables for a week is bound to experience a drop on the scale.
