But I just finished reading the South Beach Diet and it makes a lot of sense to me.

I bought 3 books to read; The South Beach Diet, Atkins For Life, and The Schwarzbein Principle II. After reading them all, and living the Atkins Diet a while ago, I think the South Beach Diet makes the most sense for me. Refined sugars are evil, pure and simple. I want more carbs than I can consume on the Atkins Diet. I don’t really want to drop back in to ketosis. I’m willing to make it a change for life and if I could modify the Atkins Diet by adding more vegetables in to the mix, I would be pretty satisfied. This is exactly what the South Beach Diet does. So, here I go, starting out at 287. The first 2 weeks are pretty restrictive, but it picks up from there. We’ll see how I do with this one, and I have my doctor’s support to plow forward with high protein, controlled carbs. Oh, as for the Schwarzbein Principle, it just doesn’t speak to me. I really am finding it hard to even read the book. Too clinical for me. I have a nephew that just became a doctor and I may ask him to translate it for me since there might be some really good information in there, but I am apparently not smart enough to get the info out of the pages.
