On the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, you eat 2 protein meals, a la Atkins. For the third meal, you can eat anything you want, but everything must be consumed within a one-hour time period.
Sample menus:
Breakfast...bacon and scrambled eggs, black coffee.
Lunch...hamburger and small tossed salad.
Dinner...pancakes, bacon, orange juice, two glasses of wine, coffee.
Thee is a book about this diet, if you search the internet you can find it.

Mrs. Clinton looks heavier than ever in every recent picture I have seen of her. The rancid black pantsuit can't hide her ampleness anymore.

I went on the Carbo Addicts Diet a few years ago & it is great. I am on my own version of low carb diet now & it is working too. I think one reason these diet work, at least for me, is because eating plenty of protein keeps you satisfied longer. When you are satisfied longer you end up eating less food & your stomach shrinks. I am full after eating half the amounts that I used to eat.

So far, I haven't seen 5 grams worth of diff between the two plans, except one sounds sexy and the other doesn't. The sexy part comes only from the newness, when that wears off, there will be another one.
I did get a valuable insight from this comment in the article:
"Why do people fail on the South Beach Diet?" Hence the overriding tone of South Beach is evangelical tinged with AA-meeting rhetoric. Dieting is not dissimilar to Alcoholics Anonymous. You get with the programme and you stay with it for life. It's a discipline few people can exercise after the initial burst of drop a dress size cheerleading.
Dieting is a modern substitute for old-time religion! There are rules to learn, constant sources of temptation, failing and redemption, and plenty of guilt to wrap it all together. Also, loads of people to keep you in line by holding you to the rules, it meets a social structure need that only good old fashioned religious mind control could equal.
Think I'm making this up? Name me a religion founded over a hundred years ago that does not have food taboos or restrictions as part of its worship. Diets are the religions of our time. I've always wondered why I've resented them, now I know.

Food and cults are a deadly combination, literally.

I think the protein part is more of what comes OUT of the tube steaks....
