Rep Power: 143 | South Beach Diet. Worked for me (14lbs. in 2 weeks) and I have clients on it that are losing inches. Like Kay said, stay off the scale. Measure yourself to see if you are losing inches, not pounds. Good luck |

Rep Power: 21 | I have a few issues with the South Beach Diet 1. Dr. Agaston freely advocates aspartame Though NutraSweet. Aspartame has been shown in many studies to be dangerous, as I said earlier. Dr. Agatston actually encourages its use in The South Beach Diet. 2. Early in the book Dr. Agaston states that trans-fats are dangerous and need to be avoided, yet on page 54 he makes the outrageous claim that French fries and potato chips are healthier choices than baked potatoes because of the “fat in which they’re cooked.” This is extremely dangerous misinformation, as French fries and potato chips tend to be profoundly high in trans fats and are amongst the unhealthiest foods on the planet. 3. Dr. Agatston also promotes the use of synthetic margarines like “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” (versus the healthier choice, real butter). The process of creating this type of margarine completely distorts the physical structure of its fats, making it nearly as dangerous as margarines that have trans-fats. Moreover, he classifies all unsaturated fats as healthy. When High omega-6 unsaturated fat that causes a distortion of the omega 3:6 ratio is one of the major contributing factors to most chronic degenerative diseases. |

Rep Power: 143 | Yeah, I have that in my fridge but when it is time for butter, I keep grabbing the Can't Believe. No control! Thanks for the input though. I think I am just doomed.. |

Rep Power: 21 | Think about your hart. Trans fatty acids (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils) increase LDL cholesterol to levels similar to those produced by saturated fatty acids and also decrease HDL cholesterol levels, the net effect of trans fatty acids (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils) on the ratio of LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol is approximately double that of saturated fatty acids. Trans fatty acids also raise triglyceride levels. Numerous studies have reported increases in triglyceride levels ranging from 1.0 to 24 mg per deciliter with an average increase of 3.0 mg per deciliter, The effect of such an increase brings on the risk of cardiovascular disease |
