Grapefruit diet pills
I checked my back issues of the St. Pete Times and went to their web site but I
could not find the story. I reread what I found at the WFTS-TV web site. There is a link to the grapefruit diet pill site where the pills are for sale and there are different segments labeled things like Foods to Avoid and then one listing approved foods. This appears to be a "selective" carb die. What I would really like to know is - did the people who lost weight, follow this diet? What diet were they on before they started? If they cut back on "bad" carbs and limited their intake to the vegetables listed and to whole wheat baked goods, they would still lose weight, even without the grapefruit. I am not advocating this plan. But there are many times when I would love to have hot garlic bread with my meals and would gladly pay for a pill if it meant my body wouldn't absorb the carbs in the bread. Dorothy |

Grapefruit diet pills
Last I heard about the so called grapefruit diet was that it was alot of
bunk. So are the carb blocker pills.. the subject of those comes up on a regular basis.. scroll back settle in for a couple hours and read. Garlic bread.. some people do just fine cutting back to complex carbs as long as you're not pigging on them all the time.. I have no problem with whole wheat bread two or three times a week.. by that I mean I have an open faced sandwich 2 or 3 times a week. I also occasionally.. very very rarely, but do.. buy whole wheat french bread. I will slice it in half length-wise then in the middle to quarter the loaf.. 3 go into the freezer the rest I will made garlic bread.. that is treat enough for the 4 of us. I am always saying there are as many ways to do the low carb thing as there are people doing it. It doesn't hurt to experiment a little and see what you can or cannot have. Losing weight a little more slowly is just fine if it means you are eating some of the things you have always loved... but in healthier amounts... whole wheat not white, etc. Teeb "Dorot29701" wrote in message ...
