I love the South Beach diet lifestyle. You're always eating so you're never hungry. In my first 10 days I lost 11 lbs! That was just the motivation I needed to keep me going. It's true what they say "you are what you eat." Now when there's cake in front of me I just think about how I'm going to feel in an hour and pass. I have a friend that did it with me that has crohns disease. She lost weight and felt good the whole time. The only negative I have is the cost in the beginning, all of the spices and fresh foods are not cheap, but definitely worth it!

I have been on the Dr. Atkins diet for years and the South Beach diet is FAR superior! It's a diet for life, because it focuses on more low fat meats. A doctor friend of mine reminds me that NO DIET will work unless you burn-off more calories than you intake! There are no magic diets or pills. It just comes down to good ole common since! But the South Beach diet is the best that I have ever been on. (And I have been on every diet from cabbage to grapefruit!) JA

I have been doing South Beach for about 3 weeks now. So far I'm loving it!!! I'm in phase 11 but I kinda lean more towards the phase 1 rules & just have a little healthy carbs once in a while... but I'm so glad to have carrots back!!! So far I've lost 9.6 pounds, way better than any other diet I've tried before. I guess I was lucky. I never went through carb withdrawl like alot of people. Seems funny but dinner would come around & I would actually crave a steak!!! That's never happend to me before. My husband will be away for the next 5 1/2 months & I'm hoping to have made a big difference in my weight & health. The biggest problem that I've had is eating as many times a day as I'm supposed to. For a few days I slacked on eating often & I hit a set back. Once I started eating more, my weight loss continued.
