Then you add wholesome carbs like multigrain breads brown rice etc....let us know how it goes.. -------------- LIFT HEAVY! BECOME STRONG, LIKE BULL!

I assumed that she had lost mostly water weight. But then again I may be wrong. By the way what does your chest routine involve uk. Gotta get my wife to try it :)

This one that I spoke about was some kind of deal where you eat what you want for so many days and then restrict yourself for so many. Like I said she lost quite abit and had all of the ladies flocking around her getting in on it. Not sustainable however. Pity
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2003/11/06, 02:10 PM Thanks, mutt. I never believed in the Atkins diet. I think that lowering carbs too quickly is not the answer to permanent weight loss. Gradually lowering carbs then increasing them periodically was the key to my rapid weight loss...and have kept the weight off for 2 years now. -------------- _Robert_ Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

The South Beach diet is full of healthy unrefined carbs...2 weeks of fresh produce and lean proteins, healthy fats, and low fat dairy. Slowly wholegrain foods are added back in. But no refined foods... But it doesn't mean you can't celebrate occasionally you just get back on track like with any plan. (last week was my b-day and I let loose with yummy foods)lol...but I am back at it....tonnes of great tasty recipes to try..... PAT
