I am upset about this........

Hi,
I was all excitied about starting the SBD but I went on the WW chat room and they bashed the diet. They said it is like atkins and people quit after a month. I was so besides myself. Now, I am doubting whether I should start this diet or not. Please give input.
Thanks in advance.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

Just had to respond to this one.
There are some posters on other boards here in IVillage that will trash any diet that isn't their own, sadly. The South Beach = Atkins argument is one of their favorites. I haven't read the Atkins book, so I don't get into the comparison between the two because I simply don't know enough to back up anything I would say :-) There are several people on this board who have read or have tried Atkins who can help you out with that.
As for South Beach itself, it's not true that people quit after a month. I've been on for two months now with no thoughts or desire to quit. There are many people here who have been on much longer than that. There are some people who quit, of course, but I don't think our percentage is any higher than any other group: people drop out of dieting for all sorts of reasons. This is a very supportive group when you're having success, and a very supportive group when you need some help. If you're not sure you want to try South Beach yet, it's OK. It isn't for everyone, any more than Weight Watchers or any of the other diets are. I would encourage you to stick around for awhile and take a look through the discussions. Join in if you feel like it, and get to know us all.
Good luck!
