I noticed today...the 3rd or 4th patient that has come to me who sees an outside cardiologist (some in pasadena, some in Santa Monica) where they recommend the patient go on South Beach to lose weight and improve triglycerides...I just find it so funny that is has become an \"official\" recommendation when we know most cant sustain that diet...but some can...any stories from others out there?

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
But basically, it\'s focused on a healthy mixture of good fats, good carbohydrates, and adequate protein - which, is just a logical form of eating.
There are \'two ways\' to do any diet - one to a \'t\', and then can\'t do it anymore because you simply cannot just take a book and follow it for the next eighty years... OR, using the guidelines as tools to create a healthier lifestyle.
It\'s a well-planned out \'plan\', and if someone is really ignorant to healthy eating, it\'s a good start.
This is my second attempt at the South Beach Diet. The first time was two years ago and I did really wel.. I was going to the gym as well and I lost weight. As soon as I added the junk back gradually, I gained it all back. This is my second week on the diet again. The first two weeks are the most difficult because you have to be viligant and have food on hand to eat. I will keep you posted.
this was very informative, but not too long =]
