Me too??? Oh, geez...

Ok, ok, I'm jumping on the bandwagon, here...

Now that [livejournal.com profile] meadmaker is eating various meats, I suppose there is no reason for me to NOT try one of the low-carb diets. Hey, they even work with my own dietary restrictions.

So, instead of Atkins, I'm going to try South Beach. Yeah. Perhaps that will work. Because, believe it or not, 60 lbs ago I only wore two sizes smaller than what I wear now. I don't know who said 10 lbs is about a size/size category. Feh. Not for me, and not for other women I know.

Perhaps that only works when you get to the smaller sizes.
Maybe - I don't remember that well. It was a long time ago.

I'm glad that it's not just me who has that size issue!

Tell me how South Beach goes. I've thought of trying it myself.

The people I know who have been on South Beach have done remarkably well with it. I'm considering doing that eventually, but I'm still getting used to the whole meat thing because it's just freakin' weird sometimes (to me at least).

Maybe in another six months or something I'll give it a shot.

South Beach was working well for me until I fell off the wagon; I'm getting back on this weekend. It's worked wonderfully for [livejournal.com profile] owllady13, she used Phase 1 (the strict no-carb phase that generally lasts two weeks) for her initiation fast, and clothes that didn't fit at all are now loose and comfortable.

I lost a bit while I was doing it, and even when I'm only doing it kinda half-assed, it's still good for my blood sugar. I binged at IG (that chocolate Poppycock was just TOO tasty :-), but I'm going back to Phase 1 for a week or two after the full moon this weekend.
