While the figure sounds impressive, it could be the least significant of the reductions. The highest Western estimate places the Soviet armed-forces personnel at 5.2 million.

That rules out the casual dieter, who risks poor health by losing muscle tissue. "These programs are definitely not for a patient who has 20 lbs. to lose and wants to get into a bikini," says Jim Parsons, Optifast's director. Nor are they for the do-it- yourselfer.
