    TIME: You're rolling out a line of South Beach Diet products this
    spring.

    R.D.: What appealed to us is that it's not a low-carb diet, although
    many associate it with low carb. It's a balanced diet of the right
    carbs, the right fats and lean sources of protein. I started in
    December and lost 12 lbs. in two months.

    ------

    Huh? Talk about being in denial. You cannot possibly spin south beach
    to not be low-carb. It is virtually identical to atkins in terms of the
    amounts of fats, proteins and carbs. The main difference being the
    kinds of fats. South Beach trumpets non-animal fats.

    OTOH, he is actually admitting that a confirmed low-carb diet, the
    south beach diet, is, in fact, a healthy and balanced diet. And he also
    confirms that it works. He's lost 12 lbs. in two months.

    These guys, who make a living sellings billions of dollars of refined
    carb [censored], sure are entertaining to watch as they try to rationalize
    their place in the food world.

    The first sentence in the South Beach book is "south Beach is not low carb."

    I did not know that. That is sooooo funny. And the mainstream

    And the sentence most people identify with Richard Nixon is probably "I am

    check out the sb diet site:

    http://www.southbeachdiet.com/public/about-the-south-beach-diet/about-the-south-beach-diet.asp

    they say: "The South Beach Diet™ is not a traditional low-carb plan."

    So now we have a traditional low-carb diet, do we? How is that
    possible? From what they tell us, we are led to believe that low-carb
    is just a "fad".

    Hmmmm.... a traditional low-carb diet fad? How's that for an oxymoron.
    A traditional fad.

    Do SB dieters count their carbs? I've never read the book, thus I'm
    wondering.

    I actualy bought the book because the web site confused me a bit. It tells
    you to eat a minimum amount of veggies. I wanted clarification. I have not
    had time to get into the details of it yet though.. just read the first 2
    chapters.

    If you were eating 300g of carb per day before, it is low carb.

    Have you read both books? There is a world of difference between SB and
    Atkins. I've been on Atkins for four years, and my sister is on SB. She
    eats way more carbs than I do to the point where I have never considered her
    diet to be low carb. The only phase of Atkins that could be compared at
    all to SB is Maintenance, and that is the stage where no more weigh loss is
    expected or necessary. SB is more of a low-calorie diet than low-carb.
