Seems to go against most of what I've learned on the SBD. I do eat a lot of beans, but I can't really believe that anyone can potato themselves to a slimmer bod. So much stuff floating around out there. In SBD I trust! |

I'll let you in on a little secret.
Whatever research proclaims to be a breakthrough in weight loss or nutrition will just as surely fall by the wayside a couple of years down the road. Eggs are the perfect food. Eggs are terrible for you. Eggs are the perfect food. Eat like a caveman. Eat like they do in the Mediterranean. Do a cleanse of lemon juice, maple syrup, water and Cayenne pepper...
The fact is that even SBD is as much "religion" as "science." That's OK too -- everyone needs a little religion.
All that matters in the end is that you eat a reasonable and balanced diet and keep moving. Tough to build a book around that and sell it, though. |

Someone on another SB board posted that recently as well. Maybe there is something to the starchy veggies before bread products thingie! ;) For those of us with bad blood chemistry and insulin resistance, I think the focus on lower GI starches is still the way to go. Other than corn, all of their 6 foods in the pictures are SB friendly foods though. The picture of the potatoes included yams/sweet pototoes which I would still pick over a white one now simply on taste alone, beans are encouraged as is barley as a whole grain (lots of good soluble fiber too!), a small banana is fine/good esp. for energy and corn is the lowest of the 6 foods in resistant starches anyway. So 5 of 6 is a pretty good hit ratio of SB foods that are also higher in "resistant starches" if you want to go with their studies. (and I'm not even that anti-corn.)
Also all their serving sizes are for 1 serving of starchy veggies/grains. It isn't like they are saying to go OVEREAT on these foods either. Just not to be scared of including them in a healthy dietary program which is typically the message here and from Dr. A as well. I don't really see it to be contradictory to SB dietary guidelines at all. It may be howerver contradictory to how some people choose to implement it and/or promote it! ;) |

I have a hard time believing it as well. My motto is all things in moderation except what SBD tells me is a no no! :lol:
I also am trusting in the SBD cause everyone I know that's tried it has loved it making it a way of life instead of a fad diet! |

| "New" information is always interesting though. I read everything and then decide what I want to incorporate into my way of life. So far, SBD is the way to go for me, just as it's been written. |

Nothing in the article really contradicts SB though. You do need to eat carboydrates to keep your metabolism fueled. You do need fiber for good health. Starchy veggies are better for you than bread products. whole grains like barley are better for you than refined grains like flours. I'd like to see a lot more research on it, but I'm open to the possibility. I'd just like to see a bigger list than 6 foods!
There was nothing in the article about fad diets. You could easily choose to incorporate those foods in moderation while putting together a P2 menu plan and most of those should already be in there anyway! |

| I believe that the more things you can eat that are naturally grown the better. I dont think it is rocket science to find out that all of the stuff that mankind has messed with is pretty bad for our bodies. I think that a healthy diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and good protein sources. I choose to eat meat, and I am trying to learn to eat it in the closest-to-the-way-God-made-it way. |

| I think the article has a lot of fantastic points. Eating healthy is eating balanced foods. This diet limits some foods because people gorge on them. Once you have yourself set in the way you'll eat for the rest of your life, a potato and a banana a day won't change anything. |
