Those that follow my threads know already that I believe the Atkins Diet is easier for most southerners and men. This isn't any surprise, leopards don't change their spots.
The problem with Weight Watchers and Zone, or any calorie restricted diet for men is counting stuff, and eating fresh salads.
Women on the other hand have problems eating "fat", and "greasy stuff", and generally don't mind journalizing and bookkeeping. Weight Watchers and the Ornish Diet are more in keeping with natural instincts.
All bets are off with most southerners women. Most have adjusted to beef and pork, and eating grilled fatty meats.
The only draw-back to Atkins for men is bread, and pasta, aside from beer, a man would walk a mile for a sandwich, or pasta.. :)..
