A How to succeed with the Atkins Diet B Weight loss through carbohydrate reduction C Problems with fad diets D The dangers of a high-fat diet 57 Which is the best place for the following sentence? "In order to lose weight you must eat less, or exercise more, or both" A [1] B [2] C [3] D [4] 58 It can be inferred from the passage that the author thinks fad diets in general A are always bad for you because they contain too much fat B can be unhealthy in the long term and have too little variety C are effective and safe if used under a doctor's supervision D usually result in long-term weight loss 59 Which of the following is an effect of ketosis?

A It is recommended by the American Medical Association B It calls for a restriction of fat intake C It involves a low intake of fruits and vegetables Code: 515 Page of D All of the above 62 The word conscientiously in paragraph could be best replaced by A consciously B scientifically C correctly D severely 63 The phrase is not conductive to in paragraph is closest in meaning to A does not prevent B makes easier C is not consistent with D does not encourage 64 It can be inferred that the author's biggest objection to the Atkins diet is that A it has led to "low-carb" advertising B (s)he believes it causes cancer C it leads to higher fat consumption D it has not been thoroughly studied 65 The word it in paragraph refers to A downside B craze C diet D food 66.Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the underlined sentence in the passage?
