Re: Plumeria and stuff--Andrea--South Beach Diet

I don't think the doctor meant for me to go by the induction phase of the diet, but rather follow their meal plan. I'm still researching between the ADA and South Beach. I'm just not eating sugar, and no "processed" carbs right now til I get my bearings. I haven't started my meds yet. Start those tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!

The South Beach diet is low carb and no refined sugar. I thought the book was really interesting in that it discussed the rates at which different carbs turned into sugar. I sure had a lot of energy on it, and I lost weight, too. I'm on Weight Watchers now because it is easier for me to keep up with, and I still lose weight.

Isn't the South Beach Diet basically a reasonable low carb diet? Maybe that
is where that comes in since some folk (especially my mother) think that if
you don't eat sugar, you can eat anything you want. However, carbs do count
as they too turn into sugars in the body, though at a somewhat slower rate.

Ok Melody- thanks for confirming that I'm not losing my marbles- I was
rather confused by the diet issue too!
