Trend Diets

I have always been skeptical of the Adkins diet. It seemed to me that you could eat too much fat as long as you ate enough protein and cut out the carbs. Everyone I knew that had been on Adkins lost weight, then gained it back once they went off the diet. I never knew much about the South Beach Diet, accept that it was similar to Adkins.
Have you ever grabbed a doughnut or your favorite latte before you remembered you were on a diet? How did you feel? Have you ever punished yourself for a slip up?
I like the flex plan that Weight Watchers has. I have been on the plan two weeks now and I've lost 4.5lbs.

Today marks the beginning of week 8 for me on South Beach. I'm down a total of 15 lbs. That's SUCH a great feeling. I've indulged a few times, here and there, in goodies that probably would have been best left alone, but I think overall, I've come a long way in my battle against unhealthy eating.
So today I officially start Phase 2 of South Beach. This week I am supposed to build up to adding two servings of fruit to my daily diet. By the end of next week, I am supposed to have worked up to 2 fruit serving and 2 starch servings in addition to what I can already have. Fruit, whole grains and certain veggies are back on the list of things I can eat.
I am doing South Beach. It's really the second time I've attempted it, but I sort of got off track the first time because of some things that came up and I had to go out of town and blah blah blah - I just failed. There. I said it. I FAILED.....the first time.
Thank God for second chances.
Energy drinks are growing trends. Reading a blog, I came across this story. I personally stay away from them. After having incidents with yellow jackets and NO DOZ, I stay away from them. The racing of my heart, fatigue, and hospital visits are not my favorite things. This article exposes the potency of caffeine poisoning.
