V8 on induction

... "guitarprincess" writes: Besides. My original comment was not answering the original poster. My post was in response to this... Is V8 vegetable cocktail ok during induction? On The South Beach Diet you do drink V-8 Juice. Does SBD have "Induction"? If so, that could get confusing. Since you're quoting me, I get to reply... I answered the question. No, you answered a different question. You answered "Is V8 OK during SBD phase 1?". The question was "Is V8 OK during Induction?" *My* question wasn't "is V8 OK on SBD" but it was "Does SBD have a phase with the same name as Atkins' `Induction'"? Having two diets that both name one of their phases "Induction" yet with different rules would cause no end of confusion on this group, because we wouldn't know which diet someone was talking about. I don't care which diet people follow, but I do look for clues about WHICH diet they're following before answering. If they mention "Induction" I don't assume they want info about SBD. Likewise, if they mention SBD I assume they don't want info on Atkins. *sigh* Sheli |

But I'll talk about the "low carb" diet I am on and all I hear is "it's not like that on Atkins". Like people are contradicting what I am saying. It gets frustrating. You share about your WOE and state that it is Atkins. It also gets frustrating when I type specific things, like that I don't do Atkins, and get directly contradicted. If I were doing Atkins, I'd likely notice. I understand that Atkins is a great WOE. I read the book. I carry the book with me wherever I go. Just because the majority of people on this group are following the Atkin's plan, doesn't mean there aren't other Low Carb diets out there that are working just as well for others. There are quite a number of low carb plans besides Atkins and SBD. I could easily complain that you're ignoring Protein Power or Bernstein's diet or CAD or even Banting by making these comments. But that would be fairly silly of me, wouldn't it? -- As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C. This energy has to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value. Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets. -- Mark Hughes, comprehending the taste of fast food |

Lee ... If you hear applause it is coming from my corner ... good job, well
put! If I have offended anyone due to past posts it might be that "key words" like "I don't have time" tend to make me more ballistic then rational ... I have worked very hard on my DIET, meticulously following the guidelines outlined by Dr. Atkins, and it has paid off handsomely, well worth the effort, in fact it has fundamentally changed my life ... that may be why I word things so strongly. good luck to all of you in your "aspirations in the noisy confusion of life" Placid 203/147/149 "Lee Rodgers" wrote in message ...

equivelant/comparable...whichever. It is the phase where you are detoxifying your system. That's what I was trying to say. I find them comparable in purpose also. But... telling someone they can have V8 on SBD phase 1 and *also* telling them that is equivalent to Atkins induction implies that they can have V8 on Atkins induction, which is incorrect. It's not nitpicking, it's pointing out that the information provided actually leads to a wrong conclusion, and the reason for that is because SBD phase 1 is *not* equivalent to Atkins. Does it help if I use a non-Atkins example? On CAD, you can have a small serving of brown rice with your dinner. Telling someone they can do this on Protein Power phase 1 is incorrect though. They're both low-carb plans, but they are different plans. Some types of advice apply across the board, but some does not. -- As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C.

V8 on induction
I guess, strictly speaking, Atkins Induction and SBD Phase I are equivalent
in purpose, but not in method. The focus of both is to introduce a potato and pancake person to a lifestyle of healthy eating, and to demonstrate the benefits of that lifestyle. Meanwhile, we all have to deal with a majority population that thinks low-carbers are some sort of organized cult launching an insidious plot to dump all our weight on them and make them fat. We'd better stick together. And start deciding when D-Day will be. Hee hee hee! PS: I decided today, with the increasing quantity of fresh veggies in my fridge, I should get a food processor instead of always having to chop chop chop! I've never used a food processor in my life, and I'm screwing up the courage to stick a cucumber in it and see what happens. Wish me luck! |

You'll slice and dice everything in the fridge playing with the thing.

Food processor salads

I've never used a food processor in my life, and I'm screwing up the courage to stick a cucumber in it and see what happens. Wish me luck! Jim, I do this all the time, especially in the summer. It's a fast, easy way to make a salad when I'm tired of lettuce. A favorite combination would be something like a cucumber, a green and/or red bell pepper, a couple leaves of kale, an handful of parsley (I remove stems first, but that's me), some onion and a clove of garlic, and a tomato, put through the med. shredder blade. Then I stir in some olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste, sometimes some red pepper flakes or cayenne. You can put a little bit of fresh hot pepper, such as jalapeno, through the blade also if you like piquante. You can add or subtract veggies to meet your carb goals. I keep thinking I should add olives, especially some of those oil-cured Moroccan black olives I get at Trader Joe's, but I keep forgetting. This is really good with grilled meat or poultry. I like to put some of this in a bowl and top with a scoop of large curd cottage cheese, a sprinkle of minced parsley, for a refreshing summer lunch. HG |
