A friend showed me a new diet she'd got from the sunday paper - it was kind of like Atkins, ditching lots of carbs and eating loads of protein and some veg.  Seems he tapped into sometihng.

I'm not sure if this is just fashion or if there's more to it.

I think this cutting out carbs that all the diets seem to do now makes a big difference.

I worked with a personal trainer last year, and she told me to really cut the processed carbs in my diet and get my carbs from fruit and veg - I've lost 15 pounds since then!

I've had success with that approach too.

I think there's some good science behind this approach.
