Eat less and exercise more. Okay so that didn't work, for me. I tried the Atkins and my cholesterol
went from 131 to 200+ in 3 weeks, that was a "bad thing"

But the South Beach diet seems to be doing it for me.... I started at 247 the week before
Thanksgiving (waist size of 42) As of last Friday, I was 216 and 38" waist.

Myself and one of the Judges I'm pals with, are on it together. Whoever looses the most (percentage
of staring weight) get a free lunch at the Chinese Buffet from the other. The only thing that sucks
is NO BEER!!!

So you're saying their data and its interpretation is fraudulent? Great. And computers work by
little elves magicing messages back and forth through telepathy. May as well, for all the respect
you have for how modern science is done.

The problem with this diet is that you will forever have to stay on it. Everybody I know that has
done either the Atkins or SB lost a lot of weight and then immediately gained it back when the
strayed from the diet.

Good on you for losing what you have just be wary of going back to the good stuff.

Shouldn't that be the point of ANY diet? Taking it off in a short time means nothing. Life is a
marathon, not a sprint.

try this again:

SHOULDN'T THAT be the point of any diet? If you take it off in a short time but put it back on,
that's just a lot of wasted effort. Life's a marathon, not a sprint.

Guy I worked with lost about 35 pounds on Atkins.

That was two years ago.

Now he's put it all back on again - plus about five more.

I'm putting my money on Ornish. Still trying to sell the whole nine yards to my Better Half, but
we're well on the way.

Yeah, as usual the bulk of the American public is willing to be led astray by whoever's on TV
spouting the latest diet fad. They'd rather let others think for them. Right now it's comical but if
in 2 years I can't find a hamburger that includes a bun it's going to be very annoying.

Precisely. I can live on beans, those around me wouldn't like it, and easily lose weight.

I'll bet if you ate more high carb vegetables that are low-glycemic you'd do fine, too.
