Default What are your thoughts on south beach?

Have you tried it? I tried it once a couple years ago but couldn't stick with it; now I am considering doing it again. Have you had results with it? What tips do you have?

Thanks!

I don't think any diet is going to be successful if it is treated as a temporary fix. As soon as you're finished, the weight comes back! Better to permanently change little things than to go overboard cutting things out that you're going to end up missing...that only leads to failure.

I haven't tried the South Beath Diet specifically, but I have a friend who found it very tough to follow when you don't have a lot of time or money...not sure if that's an issue with you or not. And my friend seemed reluctant to stick with it. I don't blame her, it always felt like she couldn't eat ANYTHING - ha.

But those are just my personal thoughts. Some people highly recommend it.

I have done it many times before. The Phase 1 is extremely hard, but is worth the 2 weeks if doing it for the first time to get out cravings.

I had lost 40lbs on SBD.

I still follow certain things about it, but not all. I start at Phase 2 now, it is the normal 1-2lb lost a week. As Phase 1 can slow down the metabolism if you do it too often, and it is not good to give up carbs and fruit like that, they are both important in the diet and you should never restrict any food group.

Its all about Balance! Well hope this helps, if you have any more questions, please dont hesitate to asK!
