The good news: Dr Duck is retiring! Woo Hoo!

The bad news: I have an appointment with him for a Cardiac Assessment this afternoon. I suspect it's a scare tactic to get me to loose weight faster. I hope he doesn't start pushing the South Beach Diet again. I gave my book away.

Hard to imagine a doctor recommending a particular fad diet, especially one so high in fat and cholesterol, but then it's Dr. Duck, so anything's possible. I thought it was funny when he did an on-line survey as a tool for determining that you should take Crestor, sounds like he just discovered the Internet.

I forget what the South Beach diet calls for. Years ago I went on the Drinking Man's Diet. You could have booze and red meat -- no carbs. I loved it. But I had a problem already -- gall bladder disease -- and this was the wrong diet for that. Anyway, I eat everything now, but in moderation. I will miss Dr. Duck.

The South Beach Diet is basically protein, protein and more protein. No booze. No fruit. None of the veggies I like. No bread. No pasta. Bacon and eggs can get so tiresome. I won't miss him one bit.

I think the South Beach Diet is only effective if you are reclining on a towel in the sun on South Beach. Ahhhhh.
