After the medical community has finally come to the conclusion  that weight gain results from eating more food than is needed for daily metabolism, comes the food allergy tests, again. Medical World News reports in a study from Dubai how the ALCAT Test might discover hidden food allergies that explain the difficulty some people have with losing weight.

As  reported in the April 2009 edition of the Middle East Journal of Family Medicine (The Effect of The ALCAT Test Diet Therapy for Food Sensitivity in Patient's With Obesity) that patients "unable to achieve goal weight loss by calorie restriction alone were significantly aided in their attempts when they avoided foods that had been shown by a unique lab test to excite their immune response."

Twenty years of experience has proven this idea has no basis in clinical medicine. Of course if you eliminate some high calorie foods, as the tests often points to, you can lose weight. My advice, save your money, everyone knows why they gain weight--too much in and too little out.
