Why is the South Beach Diet not talked about here?

I've lost over a hundred pounds on this diet. Do you folks think it is a
scam?

It's talked about at times with mostly positive feedback from those who have
tried it. The philosophy here is usually "eat less and exercise more"
pretty much regardless of which method you choose. SBD for some, WW for
others just to name a few "commercial" plans and then most people tend to do
their own thing.

I think the group tends to be somewhat agnostic with regard to the
particular type of diet, rather than being a cheerleading group for a
particular one. We try to help people with their weight loss issues
regardless of the approach that they've chosen. We're always
interested in experiences with different types of diets, though.

Personally, I prefer the "eat less, exercise more" approach rather
than any name-brand diet. In effect, I designed my own diet. It has
worked for me :-).

No, it's because we don't name it by the current name. It's the same
diet as the Glycemic Index Diet and the Body for Life diet and a number
of others through the years. Eat a balanced diet of healthy foods with
plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein and whole grains. Avoid
saturated fats but get fish fats. There. I just told you again.

My Uncle has a diet called, "if it's white, it ain't right." (Excepting
bananas and fish.)

Figure out WHY it works, own it inside you, and you'll stop calling it
the SBD diet, too.

Don't follow a diet because some Guru told you, follow it because it
fuels your body on an appropriate amount of calories with good energy
levels.

I suspect he thinks eggs are mostly yellow. No sissy de-yolking for our
menfolk.

Plus, I suspect he has never been exposed to cauliflower. It's not
something I've ever seen served in or near my father's family in Michigan.

Is that a rhetorical question?

This diet finds somewhat more discussion on
alt.support.diet.low-carb,
rather than here.

it always gets me when people post messages like the OP's on Usenet. i
figure the best way to get a topic discussed it to actually introduce
it as a topic, rather than just whining about why no one talks about it
anymore.

losing 100 lbs on any diet (except, possibly, Adkins) is great!

It would be rather unlikely that a person who lost 100 lbs on Atkins
would be worse off, compared to not losing the weight.

so eating lots of fat even tho it means losing weight would be
considered a good thing?
