Re: Re: adkins diet vs. South Beach diet

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here tried the South Beach Diet? My dr told me the other day that it

would be good for me-she said Atkins was too extreme for me. I did Atkins about

10 years ago and then after that was when I started having my thyroid problems.

I don't know if it was related or not. There is no way to say. But she said

with all my problems and infections (Lyme disease, strep infection in my brain,

EBV, 's and more I can't think of) that this would be good. Any stories

out there that this diet worked for you?

Re: adkins diet

I don't post often, but am learning and absorbing all the info! I wanted

to say that my daughter who is 29 was on the Adkins diet and it messed her

hormones up totally. Break through bleeding, etc--we figured all the

hormones

in the beef? Who knows? She didn't need to loose weight anyway--or so her

old mom thought!

I think she had lost her job due to company downsizing and was just trying

to control some part of her life. Now she has a new job, is buying a home

and

going back to school part time in the spring for her Master's Degree, so

she's back on track.
