Cygirl, the diet is not knew; the one that you're speaking about goes back about thirty years. South Beach is somewhat more recent, as I recall; perhaps it will die a natural death in the near future.

And why should anyone be surprised if someone follows low-carb, but is not actually trying to lose weight? As I said, I follow low-carb because it makes sense. Boring and unhealthy? Why do you think so?
