I got my new 'First" magazine today and I was excited because on the cover was "Addicted to Carbs" - Identify the hunger-triggering foods". I thought, Wow! Flipped to page 32. Guess what I saw? Candy! It actually lists what kinds of CANDY are good carbs for a craving! Treats that you can eat on this latest miracle diet, they say is based on the South Beach Diet. What crap! The next page explains this diet (TOTAL RIPOFF OF ATKINS) and mentions that for 2 weeks for Phase 1. You should skip most carbs, even fruits (induction, Atkins Rip-off). Then, Phase 2. Add in good carbs (fruit, whole grains - Rip off again), by the end of Phase 3. (This is a quote) "Continue your healthy-eating plan, but DON'T DENY YOURSELF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS." I am sooooo mad. What a load of crap! Can you just imagine going back to "your favorite foods" and maintaining your weight? Well, if your favorite foods are LC I guess so, but for me (Doritos, brownies, pasta alfredo) not gonna happen. Does anyone know if this is a misrepresentation of the South Beach Diet of the worse kind? Are they picking and choosing here from that book? If not, no wonder they sold so many books. Whew! I wish it was cold enough to build a fire, I have a nice piece of kindling.
