[Trust but Verify]

I HAVE to eat carbs in order to get the fiber I need in my diet. My father died of colon cancer and I have a very slow digestive process, which necessitates a diet high in fiber. I eat whole grains and brown rice and a lot of beans. IOW, complex carbs. It has worked very well for me. The proof is going from a size 24W to a size 10.

I can understand that, it makes sense. BTW, on Atkins, as I recall, every gram of fiber cancels out a gram of carbohydrates, maybe someone can correct me on this. Complex carbs are, in my opinion, good for you.

I think everyone's body is different this way. I couldn't do Atkins. I applaud those who have lost weight on it, but it messed up my digestion something awful.

I lost 35 lbs. on Weight Watchers (lots 'o carbs) very easily, and have kept it off successfully. Went from size 14 to size 2! Yeah! :o)

Everyone is different—which is why there are many, many successful diet plans.
