The world is getting fatter. The World Health Organization says that 300 million people worldwide are dangerously overweight. With so many obese people, diets are all the rage. The Atkins diet, for example, developed by Dr. Robert Atkins in the 1970s, has become hugely popular as Hollywood superstars like Renee Zellerger, Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt have followed it and lost weight.
But many doctors and medical researchers have called the diet crazy. It goes against all the research over the years that shows cutting down on fat and red meat, increasing fruit and vegetables, and, most importantly, regular exercise are the only ways to lose weight and keep it off.
Many also say the rapid weight loss experienced by Atkins dieters is mostly due to water. People are not losing fat; they are burning up glucose and with it a lot of water. And doubts have prevailed about the effectiveness of this diet as, when Atkins died of heart disease in April 2003, he himself was obese, weighing 117 kilograms at 1.82 meters in height, with a body mass index of over 35.
The truth may be that changing your eating habits and your lifestyle is what helps you to lose weight. The simple equation
—burn more calories than you eat and drink—is the only way to reduce fat from your body.

(A) annoying (B) what make people crazy (C) has become unpopular (D) has become a fad 42. What is a good way of losing weight as shown by research from past years?

(A) Some Hollywood superstars have been fans of it. (B) Many doctors and researchers are against it.

(A) He is supportive. (B) He is impressive. (C) He is suspicious. (D) He is curious.
