It's an Atkins derivative. Atkins didn't invent the low carb diet either. He rediscovered it.

Bread=bad. I lost lots of weight on Atkins. Then I started working in the city again. Crossaint for breakfast and pizz for lunch started packing weigh on me again.

For me, it's bread that I have to avoid.

This does seem a bit milder than Atkins, but the same basic idea, which was around before Atkins "invented" it.
The problem with all these "diets" is that people don't stay on them, you have to have a lifestyle change with smaller portions, and more exercise, period.
But some of us do need a program to follow. I have had excellent results with Sugerbusters, but I also keep in mind that even the good carbs have too be cut down.
My workout program is Power 90 which you may have seen the TV ads for. I've never bought a TV program, but this has a great website where you can see others results and chat with others doing it. Its a simple but hard 40 minute a day workout program incorporating light weights and cardio.
Unless you have a serious medical condition, there's no excuse for being a walking teletubbie. I was once 30 lbs overweight, now have I have a better body than I did in high school.

If they give up flour and potatoes, anyone will lose weight.
