  • Anyone read Woman's Day?

    Hi all. I was in the check out line yesterday and I saw on the cover of Woman's Day an article that was suppose to be about a diet that is better than Atkins. The cover said that you do low carb one day and higher carb the next. But I didn't buy it or open it in the store so I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly the article was about.
    I tried their website but they don't mention it.

      Woman's Day is the same magazine that promoted Kimkins, and then had to retract their story because it's an unhealthy diet and Kimkin's is a fraud. It doesn't seem to me like they check out the facts before they publish something.

        I refuse to purchase that magazine. I can log on to tmz and google fad diets for free

          Good Morning DLS,

          Funny you mentioned that. I have the magazine sitting right here on my desk. I saw it in the grocery store so I decided to buy it and read it. Personally, I can see the truth in it. Its basically atkins...for a few days and they they add in carbs the 2 WEEK ...So the next week you have like days to eat carbs. But they are heathly ones....Like oatmeal, 2 slices of bread. But they break it down : You can only have like 2 servings of carbs before 3 pm......cereal or 2 slices of bread and they have protein shakes.


          One week- Basically atkins minus the protein shake.....

          Then the next week you alter your days for carbs. But you dont' get alot of carbs...

          Like I said. One day you get 2 servings before 3, SUN, MONDAY, THURSDAY

          Then the other days Tuesday and friday....1 serving of carbs at breakfast

          Wed and Sat 3 servings of carbs and 1 serving of fruit...


          I mean it could work...It does make sense. But I dont think it's as good as Atkins...its similar...in the end they are just saying watch your carbs and when you eat your carbs. It's an interesting read.

              Aren't you guys talking about Woman's World? That's the one that comes out once a week and always has a fad diet in it. (Although at one time they had the Atkins diet in there so who am I to judge). I subscribe to it cause it does have interesting articles and I do pick up some good tips.
              My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

                      Woman's Day didn't promote Kimkins, Woman's World did. I believe Womans day is a monthly magazine and Woman's World more of a weekly tabloid type.

                      Either way I'm not big on quick fix 'diets' in magazines and yes that one does sound confusing!

                            I thought it sounded kind of hokey. I was just wondering if anyone else had seen it.
                            Atkins is working for me and I don't want to screw that up, that's for sure!
