South Beach Diet

[mitziedoll]

Hello,
I was wondering if any of you have ever tried this diet. I have a friend who has dropped a ton of weight on it. She says that she eats healthier foods with more moderation than in the Atkins diet. Any thoughts?

i have and i thought it was pretty easy to follow. i would definitely recommend reading up on it first though, because i think you're better off following the plan from the book than improvising and just buying the SBD foods at the store. it's a lot more "loose" when it comes to carbs than atkins, and a hell of a lot less restrictive compared to a lot of fad diets. i think if done properly you could probably lose a lot and keep it off.

Well,
This diet is low carb but not no carb it does allow for some fruits veggies and whole grains. From what I understand it works in three phases the first being strict and the third for maintenence. Seriously it looked like she lost 10lbs or more the first week.
