ADVICE PLEASE!!! What's better - South Beach, Atkins or India's idiot proof diet?

Health wise I mean. Have read up about all of them, and am going to start this weekend with DH, but not sure which is healthiest - south beach seems OK, but has low fat stuff in too (bleeurrch), India seems OK, but am V put off by the truck load of supplements she insists on - all together they seem way in excess of the RDA, and she insists they be taken forever, which is flipping expensive-can anyone with a nutritional background shed any light? Would love to hear anyone's opinion on this.

Yep I missed red wine in the evenings at the beginning but now I have a small glass and suffer no ill-effects (apart from the knowledge that I really, really shouldn't have another one...)

That is a low-GI diet as well, though, BTN (at least, based on what you've had today. As is what KatyMac eats. In fact probably most healthy not-too-faddy diets probably boil down to much the same thing, just with a slightly different spin put on it.

anyone have anything horrifying to say about cholesterol levels on the India Knight diet? Or is it OK?
