  has anyone here tried the atkins diet or something like it?

  i was looking at some info that a co-worker sent me about being overweight.

  i desperately need to lose a lot of weight, but i'm starving all the time and have packed on the 30 lbs.

  I did Atkins last year and lost about 30 lbs pretty quick- in about 3 months. Thing is it all goes back on if you go back to eating normally and haven't the time to exercise (especially if you stop smoking too!!!) so now I'm back to the weight I was and am just trying to cut out bread, pasta and all white flower.

  I talked it over with my doc and as I am scraping at the bottom end of being obese according to my BMI (which is obviously bullshit, I'm just short for my weight!), he told me I would definitely get adult onset diabetes if I didn't pull my finger out and get some exercise.

  If you can get a bit more exercise it helps alot, I found that the best diet for maintainable weight loss was slimming world. Not sure if you have it over there but it's all down to food combining - not mixing proteins and starches in the same meal. The bonus is that you can eat as much as you like of the right foods on each specific day so never be hungry.

  I think it says alot for the humanity of the Israelis that they didn't just shoot the kid in the head. I don't agree with alot of what Sharon has done, even alot of IDF soldiers do not agree with the politicians , but the soldiers themselves are professional in the extreme.

  I've just flown back from Paris (and going back Sunday night) and was held up for two hours at Chalres De Galle while the sniffer dogs checked out a suspicious package. What pisses me off is that I should be in bed with Mrs SLH instead of still up working!

  Hamas Founder DEAD

  are we ignoring the fact that israel finally took out ahmed yassin, the founder of hamas, which has killed so many innocent people?.

  my opinion...what took so long?

  evenin y'all, I've been working in Paris for the week so have seen the news on CNN and the only English paper I could glance at in the few moments I have had free was the Herald tribune. My question would be why did they only kill this one guy and his sons. If they were going to do this then why not go balls out and kill the top 10 guys in Hamas. You'll notice that the guy Hamas has nominated as the new leader in Gaza is more of a radical than Yassin. In the short term Hamas will be looking to retaliate and the violence will spiral further but I don't think anyone can criticise the decision to take out Yassin - he was the organiser of bombing campaigns and while the US is having the 911 congressional inquiry they wanted a high profile target taken out for the headlines.

  My concern is that this was not done to fight terrorism - Hamas is like a chimera and will have several people to step into Yassin's shoes at little notice, it was actually done to play with the power balance in Gaza. Arrafat is becoming more and more marginalised and this will give him a chance to avoid hamas stepping into the power vacuum. What has been ignored is two things - firstly the real power in Hamas is based in Lebanon and Syria, the actual leader of Hamas is not in Gaza. Secondly the best way to combat Hamas is at grass roots level. Hamas runs food distribution centres and helps the population on the ground so they have great popular support. To combat terrorism you have to deal with the root causes and win hearts and minds, I do not think that the USA is doing enough to address the issue at a basic level.

  Just as a point of history, the only time a major power has won a guerilla war against insurgents was when the Brits beat the living daylights out of the rebels in Malaya. The reason we won was that we used the SAS - the best soldiers in the world, alongside a vigourous campaign of grass roots hearts and minds capture. If you get the support of the locals then terrorism cannot operate.

  As an aside I have been watching the congressional hearings on CNN. Rumsfelt came across very well as a savvy politician who was well aware of the big picture. IMHO Bush came across badly although I will say he has surrounded himself with some good people in Rumsfeldt and Colin Powell. Also Ben Cohen - Clinton's defence secretary, came across as a very intelligent and very professional politician, this week I have seen a side of American politics rarely seen over here.
