OT - South Beach Diet

[maillotpois]

Anyone have an opinion on it? The book is in my big bedside pile holding down the floor.

Maybe we should compare the sizes of our bedside book piles one day. Not that I'm competitive or anything.

Is credit given for magazines?

Throwing down the gauntlet? 25.5 inches (I'm sitting beside it and my knitting tools, inc. tape measure, are right there).

Editing: this does not include magazines.

Well, I am in a deposition right now (they are not talking about any issue I give a cr@p about right now), but I will measure when I get home. I plan to add multiple stacks together to make my total, because I have a few stacks to make them less prone to earthquake toppling.

For stability, my stack is leaning against a pile of knitting books leaning against 2 boxes of knitting magazines which, in turn, are leaning against the bookshelf, and does not include books which Bubba has on his side of the bed and I'm waiting for. Can I add those books and re-measure?

[maillotpois]

Yeah, you can add the Bubba wait list - but only if you lend me SBD and allow me to prospectively add that to my total as well.

[SadieKate]

Sure. I haven't heard SouthernBelle weigh in.

I vote that bicycling magazines are allowed.

[maillotpois]

Well, sure bicycling magazines are allowed. Especially my old stack of Cycle Sports from a few years back that I was planning to re-read....

So, SK, you are back? Trip report????

[SouthernBelle]

Sure. I haven't heard SouthernBelle weigh in.

I vote that bicycling magazines are allowed.

My problem is my books and magazines are all over the house. NOT neatly and centrally located.

I do have a nice stack of Bicycling mags by my bedroom chair.

Sarah - stay away from the Paleo diet. The only things on your list that are allowed are the nuts and an occasional glass of wine. The rest is taboo.

And I'd bet that my bedside 'to be read' book pile tops 2 feet easily...perhaps more.

[KnottedYet]

My bedside pile collapsed and avalanched into a debris pile that amoebas its way under my bed.

Can we count acreage? Cuz piling it up again to measure would just be toooooo much like CLEANING.

as most others have said... south beach is a VERY healthy way of eating! yes... you are restricted from eating breads and such the first 2 weeks (phase 1).... but you can eat carbs... in the form of vegetables!!!!!

phase 2 you get to add back some more stuff.... but they teach you to eat the low glycemic... healthy stuff!!!!

phase 3 is your every day... normal.... healthy eating! geez... i LIVE on oatmeal... but it's not the sugary quick cook packaged stuff!!!!

plus you don't count points.... you don't pay to go to meetings or buy special foods (you basically shop the outer, healthy aisles and stay away from prepared foods....

i give southbeach 2 thumbs up!
