48 Hours Investigates

[kayeandjim00]

I don't know if anyone caught it or not but last night on 48 Hours Investigates they did segments on all different types of weight loss. It was very interesting. Here is a Link to information from the show. They covered gastric bypass, eating sensibly, low carb, and a celebrity who uses exercise, portion control, and a therapist. For those of you, like me, who are eating sensibly this book was suggested by the doctor talking about this lifestyle. Of cours they had good and bad things to say about low carb as a lot of the new programs do but they showed a family who have lost an incredible amount of weight on Atkins and now have a low carb cooking show on the food network! Just thought I'd share this with all my WISH friends!

I watched the show, it was very interesting. I agree with the one doctor towards the end who said that pretty soon people on low carb will not being losing weight because there will be so many low carb items out there.
I have been doing the South Beach diet it is amazing to me how many low carb products there are now. But what is the point of trying to cut down when they are making cookies, etc,. I was so tempted to by cookies the other day, but chided myself about getting back into some bad habits.
The idea of a diet is to cut out or cut down, if everything is now available to us, how will we lose weight when we are increasing our intake?

I think that the low carb products are meant for maintenance. I know that when I reach goal I will add more of them to my diet. I have taken Atkins as a lifetime plan. I won't be adding refined carbohydrates back, I know that for sure

I missed the show, so I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to post the link. It's so interesting comparing everything. It lets you know, everything works, if you just do it. Thanks again!
