This is all listed in the South Beach Diet book. Pretty interesting, but hard to follow for a long time, I thought.

Thanks Kate. That really breaks it down well! I'm going to print that out and hang it up in my kitchen.

Janet, it's not hard. That's what WW is all about - substituting good food for not so good food. It just becomes a habit, and you can eat a food that's not so great if you're careful with everything else that day.

For example, if I go to a party, I eat whatever I want. I keep the portions small because I can eat more different foods if I don't fill up on one. Then I pick back up on eating right the next day or so. It's a little hard to get right back because fat is addictive for me. As long as I get back on track within a week, I'm okay.

I also have a cheeseburger deluxe every 2 or 3 weeks. Thin is nice; no junk food is insane!

We've been following it for years now. I simplify it mentally by saying no high fructose corn syrup, and change all yellow and white foods to orange and brown (that aren't meat).

White rice = brown rice, white pasta = brown pasta, white potatoes = orange potatoes, no corn or carrots except in small quantities with other foods.

Use healthy fats - butter in small quantities, and sunflower oil instead of corn or canola (which is a synthetic molecule). And having some fat in a meal slows digestion and helps you lose weight.

That's about it.
