Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 This is a magazine aimed at women readers? I love reading Oxygen because it's full of women who actually look and live healthfully, so this mag sounds interesting to me! Who's the publisher (so I can find a copy)? Is there a website named? I'm addicted to magazines... that's what I get for living in the middle of nowhere. :-) ~~ Lara in rural Oregon! BFL in MF Hers There is a mention of BFL in this month's (Jan/Feb 2003) Muscle and Fitness Hers. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. It's a magazine worth reading, anyway. The premise of the article is that four women try four different diets (BFL, Zone, Weight Watchers and Craig), then write about their experieces; an expert weighs in with the pros and cons of each diet. The expert criticized BFL on three counts: It doesn't have enough carbs, the before/after pictures may discourage some people because they feel like failures if they don't have quite such stellar results, and the free day can promote bingeing in those prone to overeating in the first place. I would have to agree that I don't do well with the free day, precisely because I have a compulsive overeating problem, but I know many ladies love their free day and have no problems staying in control. I think the not enough carbs criticism is ridiculous. Maybe in comparison to the typical American diet filled with white flour and simple sugars, BFL does limit carbs, but it has plenty of carbs even for serious athletes. Finally, I can't imagine anyone being discouraged by the before/after pictures. I find them so inspirational! Has anyone else seen this article??
