South Beach Diet

The South Beach Diet is a moderated "low carb" diet, and I'm presently half-heartedly on it. I had reached the 170 pound weight and most of that was around the middle. Unlike the Atkins Diet, which is a strict "no carb" program, the South Beach Diet prohibits nearly all carbohydrates in the first two weeks, in an effort to (they claim) break some kind of insulin-related cycle. Then certain carbohydrates are reintroduced, but in moderation. At its core the objective is to limit the carbohydrates that contribute most to a jump in one's blood sugar.

Things clearly restricted: refined wheat pasta; refined wheat bread; white rice.

Guess what foods I just simply love? :-)

But in a rather short period of time the craving for that stuff does subside. And the diet does work.

I don't suppose you've ever considered the need to diet, right?
