I tried the south beach diet and lost 15 lbs (I found five of them though). I'm doing pretty good just calorie counting. It's not as fast, but I can live with it.
You are just hard core!!! hehehe

The numberonepal diet
1. Eat steak, eat steak, eat a big ole steak. (As rare as you can stand it)
2. Eat pork, fish, chicken, bison, squirrel, venison, rabbit, turtle, etc.
3. Supplement your meat with veggies smothered in butter.
4. Eat fruit for dessert or snacks.
5. Butter and coconut/palm oil in quantity.
6. Supplement the above with bread and cheese in moderation.
7. Never eat soy products or anything that says "low fat", "healthy", or anything of the like. That usually means large amounts of poly-unsaturated fat and/or refined sugar/corn syrup.
8. Enjoy it. Happy people are healthier and live longer.
The one thing that stands out in the above diet is that the foods recommended are the ones we actually want! Imagine giving our bodies what it wants rather than the stuff some hippie said would be good for you.
PS The soil in which our food is grown, and/or fed to those tasty animals, has been depleted of a great deal of the minerals it used to have. Find yourself a good supplement that fits your needs.
From Dr. William Campbell Douglas:
The Atkins diet is not new. It is basically the diet man has eaten for thousands of years-long before junk food, junk science, or the AHA came along. If it was good for 10,000 years, why is it bad now?
Make checks payable to "wife of numberonepal".
I'm the same way with a biscuit or cereal. The rest of the day I could jsut eat meat right off the bone.
Here is a simple alternative to Atkins.
Don't eat sugar. Don't eat bread.
Don't do long distance cardio or weights. Do sprints and push ups 3 times a week.
That's not easy, but it is simple. If you do that, you will dramatically transform your body. It's that simple.
I'm pretty sure Atkins would agree.
That's my $.02.
Sugar, by the way = sucrose.
Fruit is good.
Hi, Delph!
Because when animals are killed, they experience great fear and pain.
I agree with that entirely. Especially if you mean fruit to include avocadoes and nuts. Also shell fish are good. Butter is awesome. Esp non-pasteurized.
And don't forget eggs. They are a miracle food.
Definitely! Personally I don't enjoy avacados, but I'm a sucker for chocolate covered cashews and tomatoes while in Italy.
On the other hand He passed on all sorts of rules for preparing meat, and He preferred prime cuts for the burnt offerings at the Temple.
Your carbs won't help you then.
Cheese is good. Bread is evil.
The real ethical challenge is to only eat something that can fight back!
do you have a link?
That way you will be eating the fiber along with a minimal amount of starch and at the same time getting the full benefit of a diet filled with antioxidants and flavinoids.
Closest I come to grain is rye.
Jane Brody's a hack who's been in a furor since Atkins came on strong. Her books aren't selling and she's mad.
BTW, you believe anything written in the NYT?
PETA people also believe in bestiality (according to other threads not too many days back). So, I'd be very careful accepting anything they say about any topic.
