Well guess what. Your 'news' means fvck all unless you actually have somethign to back up that statement.

you think i give a sh!t? get a god damn tv and turn it on sometime. it was on 20/20 or one of them damn shows.

well this turned ugly quick. Before you open your trap again rickn, you should maybe learn the difference between atkins and south beach. :roll:

I've read both books. I know the differences, maybe it's you who doesn't

is it good or bad for your cholesterol?

good. unlike atkins approach to fats, SB is geared more around the safe fats, like olive oil. etc. they don't make you eat a pound of bacon for breakfast

And yet, research after research have shown that on an Atkins' diet, cholesterol levels actually gets better.

The Atkin's diet doesn't 'make' anybody eat anything that absurd. The point of it is, that fat is not as dangerous as people believe. When you eat a low carb diet, your body handles fat MUCH differently than it does when you eat a high carb diet. Humans have only had agriculture and farming for about 8000 years, prior to that, for hundreds of thousands of years, we were a hunter/gatherer society... so our body knows full well how to handle fat... infact, it handles it much better than carbohydrates, which is a reason why obesity and diabetes is such a big problem in NA society.

So why bother participating in this thread? You're making the claim, you're the one that needs to back it up. Dumbass.

The bad aspects? Sure. It's a diet, which means it doesn't work, and any weight loss will be temporary, only to be gained back in short order, plus a few additional pounds for good measure.
Save your money, eat right, and exercise.

Save your money? If you mean save your money by not buying the book, it's only $15 at the MOST. Not to mention there's a lot of valuable information you can gain by just reading it. You don't have to go on the diet but if you read it you'll understand why low carbs does what it does.
If you still insist on throwing your money around, albeit only $15, give it to me and I'll tell you again: eat right, and exercise. That's all you need to know.

WTF is "eat right". :roll: Explain to me what "eat right" is so everybody can save their $15 (actually you can get it for free if you go to the library). The whole point of reading the south beach book is so you can learn what "eat right" means.

Your ignorance is hilarious.
You're the knucklehead asking what "eat right" means, and I'm ignorant? If, in this day and age you don't know what eating a healthy diet encompasses, you are truly clueless. Now, go lose some weight, lardass.

So answer the man if it's so simple. What does 'eat right' mean? Just like in life, there is more than one way to do most things. Just because a high carb, low fat, low protein diet might be correct for you, doesnt' mean it's correct for anybody else. And if you mean caloric deficiet as 'eating right', then that's your opinion. It's certainly one way to lose weight, but personally i'd rather not always be hungry.

HAHAHA, you said "eat right". Everybody's definition of "eat right" is different. Some people believe it's the atkins way, the zone way, the south beach way, the ole food pyramid way. I just wanted to know your definition of eat right.

You're already resorting to name calling which means you have nothing further to add.

Have another corndog fatty.


This thread is going downhill, everyone agrees that you're the fat one, so please stop posting fat fat.










I'll be back later, I need to go get a corndog...

 
What the hell is wrong with you people? Shut up.

Anyway, SBD is good. I'm a month into my 2nd go-around. To me the plan makes a lot of sense, and seems reasonable and intelligent. The reason my first attempt fell short was because I wasn't totally prepared for it, and after 2 weeks of depriving myself, I over-indulged. So I got discouraged and quit. 🙂 Seriously, carbs are my favorite food group, but it hasn't been torture to give them up (Phase I) or cut back (Phase II). It's hard, but not too hard. I find myself not being too hungry, and not really craving the things I "can't have." There's really good options out there: healthy tortillas, whole grain breads, whole wheat pitas that make for good personal pizzas, a good broccoli-cheese soup recipe, and of course lots of wonderful fruits.

Probably true that someone will gain most of the weight back if they "go off the diet." That means it has to become a lifestyle. And for me, that seems reasonable.

Feel free to PM me if you want more details, links, recipes, etc.
 
Anybody who sees these as 'diets', are jsut going to get the weight back on eventually. That's why if you ever read any of these books, you'll see them use lifestyles and WOL (Way of Life).
