Krispy Kreme to Make Low-Carb Doughnuts


Iwww...

[Joe Matt]

My mom had a *great* idea.... to put the whole family on the South Beach Diet. Yeah, pray for me. I think it'll last a week, as for me, I'll cheat.

Low carb doughnut? That defeats almost every law of nature!!!

I tried the Atkins diet thing ... it worked, I lost twelve pounds the first two weeks I was on it. But after eating just eggs, cheese, bacon, and chicken (and drinking just water) I was getting bored and just didn't want to eat at all (though I suppose not eating anything would cause you to lose a few pounds ) So that was the end of that.

Yay Weight Watchers

low carb doughnut? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Well, on second thought...

I guess it's a lot better than putting "speed-holes" in humans!

[Joshua May]

Low... Carb...Doughnut

How can those three words be used together in a sentence? Oh, when will it end!

And why wouldn't that work?

Taking all bets! 1-2 odds on Dave Lavery jumping all over this thread!

Which reminds me, I need to make that obligatory "pro-Dunkin' Donuts comment".

Yay, Dunkin' Donuts!

My teammate Adam is on that- he has lost about 14lbs. I on the other hand am on the "dont eat so much" diet and I am proud to say I have lost 20lbs in the last few weeks (although its starting to make a comeback!)

i just recently went on that diet. an engineer might day that i have an undesireable center of gravity . i went to Hershey PA last week, and i actually haven't had much of the chocolate that my family has been enjoying. i have also cut down on my eating, except for a few meals, (one was an all-you-can-eat that me and my family went to, but i only got full instead of sickeningly full like i did other years). wish me luck guys!

I think that Atkins is actually really good.
Any diet really works if you work on it.
I'm doing Weight Watchers right now, and it worked once before when I first did it; I was just 12.
So yeah if you really wanna lose weight and get fit..
Diets do work. Any one of them is good.
Take your pick.

FLOWERS ARE LOW CARB!!

I recently saw a cartoon where someone said they had eaten a low-carb donut for breakfast and when the other person asked them what flavor it was they answered "Chicken".

We had a flower sign back home like that for a while around mother's day, it was quite funny.

.... I know I for one am looking forward to the new KK. I have been quite limited (as in maybe 3 or 4 a year). I have been on Atkins since April 1, 2001, and have lost over 60 lbs. Right now, its Atkins for life, just maintaining the low carb lifestyle is the key, and wait for new things to come out!

I have very little faith in the high protein low carb diet.

Namely, as effective as it is, I can't belive that it can be healthly over long periods of time. Anytime you skew your diet that much, and basicly cut out an entire food group(s), you run a very high risk of malnutrition. Several friends have tried to go with this diet, and a few months in were complaining of joint pain and the such. After going back to a normal diet, this went away. I suspect they had given themselvs a case of vitimin C deficiency because of the lack of anything but meat and nuts.

Obviously, they didn't plan thier diet very well. But, I still belive that a high carb, low meat diet with exercise is the healthiest way to lose weight (or, more likely fat). Maybe not the easiest, but hey, I like bread.

If you take on any diet, you need to consult a physician and a nutritionist for the best success and care. With the both of them, I have liver and kidney functions checked every so often along with other things, have a variety of vitamins, and MUST include certain foods once a week in my regiment to stay off of certain vitamins. All in all its about balance.

I work in a grocery store...half the people on Atkins only buy the "atkins" ice cream and cookies and bars. I want to scream at them over their stupidness...

If you are going to do a diet...you have to eat what is actually on the plan not just the junk food of it.
