The part I like is that I go through sugar withdrawal in about 3 days and thereon do not crave the candy bar. After that I drop weight very fast. I'm hoping about 10 pounds a month.

I like the South Beach Diet better than Adkins. It doesn't cut out all carb like Adkins, but has you eat more un-processed and natural foods. I think that is a healthier way to go than earing all those choleterol ridden meats and cheeses. You body does need some carbs, just not all that pure white sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

When people criticize the Atkins method I usually agree it is not the healthiest but it is much more healthy than being very obese. I think it is a great way for really fat people to get down to a more healthy weight from where they can adopt a more healthy diet.

Mike, just curious if you know anything about LA Weight Loss. A friend lost 30 pounds on it and it was not only her pregnancy fat.
What exercise regimen are you into? How many minutes on cardio do you do? I do at least 20 minutes each day, but I think I need to do more and more.
