Answers:
Yes, it works!. Yes it is a good way to lose weight!
But you must not think of it as a DIET!. You must think in terms of lifestyle food plan!.
DIET is a very dirty 4-letter word denoting a short term starvation period that can be dropped any time you get tired of doing it!.
Lifestyle food plan is changing your life around to where you never forget to eat low carb and you never quit doing your exercising!.
Most of the people who have successfully lost weight with either Atkins or South Beach and kept it off are motivated to remain on the low carb lifestyle for the rest of their lives!. Those who gain all the weight back are the ones who hit goal then forgot to stay with the maintainance portion of the plan!. They will lose and gain with any other DIET plan as well because they just go back to the old way of eating!.
I am on a maintainance plan of very low carb for health reasons!. It is a combo of Atkins and SB with a few deletions that just don't work for me!. I have been eating this way for the past 12 years!!! I am more healthy than most people on Am Diabetes Assn diet plan because I never allow heavy starchy carbs into my life!.
Oh, yes, be sure to plan in a small,, very small, "cheat treat" once a week!. It will keep you from the guilts when you do cheat!. Half a serving of something forbidden!. This is why I like SB better than Atkins!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
