Exceptions to the Rule

Are you in Phase 1 and wondering why you haven't been able to lose as
much weight as you'd like? Don't quit the diet yet! There are a few possible
explanations:

Your diet before going on the Beach was already pretty healthy. Phase 1
weight loss is attributable to a loss of water associated with limiting carbs as
well as fat loss due to a decrease in the overall intake of calories. If your diet
already limited carbs, chances are you're not retaining as much water weight
as the average overweight person.

You just came off a low-carb diet. For the same reason as above, you may
not see drastic Phase 1 weight loss.

You don't have much weight to lose. If you're looking to drop 5 to 10 pounds
or less, you may experience a more gradual weight loss.

You're going through menopause. Women experiencing hormonal changes
have a harder time losing weight.

You have a medical condition that prevents you from losing weight. Some
dieters have other reasons for their weight gain or slow-to-nonexistent weight
loss. Only your physician can determine if you fit into this category.
If you're not satisfied with your rate of weight loss and there is no existing
medical condition or hormonal change that would prevent you from losing
weight, try upping the intensity and duration of your exercise routine. Adding
weight-bearing exercise to your workout can also aid in weight loss.

Your diet before going on the Beach was already pretty healthy. Phase 1
weight loss is attributable to a loss of water associated with limiting carbs
as
well as fat loss due to a decrease in the overall intake of calories. If your
diet

as the average overweight person.

You just came off a low-carb diet. For the same reason as above, you may
not see drastic Phase 1 weight loss.

How can the limiting of carbs be an issue, if SB is, as stated on the first
page of the book, "not a low-carb diet"?

Then having previously been on a low-carb diet shouldn't be an issue. IMHO
anyway. How can you not limit carbs and not be on a low-carb diet, and expect
to lose the water weight they mention. The water weight they say you will lose.
The water weight people lose on *low carb, limited carb, or any other lessening
of carb by any other PC phrase* diet?

SB is nothing but Atkins for those who buy into the BS that Atkins will kill
you. Which is GREAT if it works for them. Bravo to anybody who is successful. I
just wish somebody would admit it, that's all.

It is issue as you likely do not have too much water bound with
glycogen.

IMHO
anyway. How can you not limit carbs and not be on a low-carb diet, and

Well, I hope you have noticed the irony in my previous post...

Sure, everybody here knows it. And bravo to Agatston for making Atkins
acceptable for mainstream.
