Not sure how you came up with this from reading the article. The article mentions that "During the first two weeks on SB, dieters follow a special [grain-free] phase of the plan that levels blood sugar..." and continues on to say "After two weeks add 1 serving of fruit and 1 serving of a healthy starch, such as 1 c whole-grain cereal, 1 slice whole-grain bread or 1/2 c brown rice daily for 1 week. In following weeks, experiment with adding more fruit and healthy starch, cutting back if weight loss slows."
I bought this issue of WW as one of the gals I know from the SB Online website is featured. I thought they did a pretty good job of explaining SB for only two pages. The featured recipes (veg quiche cups, black bean salad, lettuce wraps, etc.) were ones a lot of us are familiar with and the sample menu plans were accurate and appetizing.
The only thing that made me furrow my brow was the Dessert menu suggestion of SF fudgicles, SF jello cups or SF pudding cup. I mean, those are allowed but the article sounds like you need to choose one each day. I seldom have those things.
All in all, it was a good review of the Supercharged plan, outlining the diet, exercise & menu enough to interest dieters looking for a diet plan. For those of us who are familiar with SB, there was nothing new that we didn't know. The best part about the article IMO is that it lets people know that SB is NOT another low-carb diet.
p.s. When you flip a few pages, there are calorie-killer recipes for desserts...504 cal lime cheesecake, etc.
It reminded me why I don't buy this magazine anymore. LOL
