aephi, I feel luck such a dork for my typo, I laughed and blushed at the same time. Thanks for the great post on the benefits of Atkins. It works great for me too
I permentaly borrowed his book from my mommy.
passes ya a diet rite
For those of you who may be skeptical about Atkins and are looking for something else to diet on, try reading Suzanne Summers's GET SKINNY ON FABULOUS FOOD books. She doesn't cut out any food groups, but shows you how eating certain food combinations makes a differnce in how your body digests and stores it. Like Atkins tho, it pays to read the book all the way through. She has a good right up in her latest book, the title escapes me, about all the other diets out there too. S.S. suggests eating fruits alone, on an empty stomach, and eating carbs with veggies or proteins with veggies but never carbs and proteins together, bc of how they are digested in your body. I think her idea sounds good, but I'm a carb junkie and know I need to eat less of them not balance it out with veggies.
