isabelle,
one of my hobbies is actually a fairly dangerous one- experimenting with
various diets to see what happens. let me make this brief. i suggest you
check out a site called caveman diet, a book by d'adamo on diets for the four
different blood types (sounds nuts at first but, may actually be the best
one). i have done the atkins diet and i wasn't impressed. after developing
high blood pressure and having one too many sinus infections, i have returned
to a vegan diet. everytime i have gone on a vegan diet, i lost tons of weight
effortlessly while eating like a pig with no effect on my voice. i have type
A blood.
some opera director once said of singers and weight, "it is important to
remember mimi died of consumption, not mass consumption".

good luck,
mike
