For me the SBD is the answer I was looking for. I didn't feel healthy on Atkins, in fact I gained some wonderful intestinal/digestive problems that still persist. I think this is a good plan especially for someone like myself who doesn't have much weight to lose. My husband in fact thought it was so healthy that he has decided to join me even though he has no weight to lose. IMHO, I think this diet will be the "next Atkins" I don't understand why everyone complains that "this is stolen from Dr Atkins" when a million of these diets (pp,sb etc) are basically low carb too. This is just me though!
