A new thrilling diet experience
Out of solidarity for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naudia, the household begins the South Beach Diet today. I do okay with plain calorie counting--when I stick to it!--but this is like to do me no harm, and may do good. And if the two of us are militant, then audiovile has no choice but to come along, as we do all the hunting, gathering, & preparation of food, and he knows only the number of the pizza place; and it will do him no end of good, high blood pressure & non-exercising creature that he is.
It's certainly a lot more sensible than, say, Atkins, and starting my day with a mushroom-and-reduced-fat-Swiss omelette does not suck; though as usual, being deprived of fruit and bread makes me whiny. This one cup of caffeine per day business, though, we're going to have to have talks about that. Also, I loathe plain raw celery, which is the only convenient snacking veg on the list for the first two weeks.
(I'm going to log calories per usual, purely for my own curiosity. It's been said that the reason Atkins actually works for some people is not ketosis but because you feel less hungry eating all that protein and fat, and I wonder whether this might be similar, at least for protein reasons.)
