Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Atkins and Southbeach
Hi! I am familiar and have been successful on Atkins(a 80 pound loss) What is the south beach diets different attributes and who's having success with what? Sally > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Sally Dunno. I've no experience with SB, but from reading the posts here, it seems as if SB is higher carb much sooner (beans, whole grains etc) and lower fat, especially saturated fat. But higher and lower are both relative to Atkins, not the mainstream diet. Quite a few have done well on it.  Signaturerevek "I think you bent the needle on my irony meter. I'm not really sure, though, because the case is busy arcing and the entire unit appears to be melting and burning a hole in the lab bench." -- John S.

Sb is more strict about saturated fat and emphasizes the lower glycemic index carbs (more lenient on carb intake) -the "good" vs "bad" carbs. Weight loss is not as dramatic w. SB as Atkins. I have a couple of colleagues doing well with SB. frank I don't know about the weight loss not being as dramatic on SB. I have just finished 6 days on SB and have lost 9 lbs! Know this will not continue, but when I first did Atkins induction I didn't lose this much this fast. As a matter of fact I switched to SB after being mostly off Atkins over the holidays. Before the holidays was at a real stall with Atkins. This has gotten me moving again. > > > Hi! > > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > frank Thanks Jaime! I am very familar with stalls on Atkins! But I have had a great amount of success with Atkins too! Seeing as I know the plan better this will be my trek.And when a stall hits(which it will) I will purchase the South Beach Book! Then I can be a exprt(yeah right!) on both! Sally I don't know about the weight loss not being as dramatic on SB. I have just finished 6 days on SB and have lost 9 lbs!
