The South Beach Diet Review #59 by Jeff on September 17th, 2010 at 12:37 PM CDT

Don't give up on the South Beach diet or expect too much too soon. Me and my wife have started on South beach again and in 3 weeks I have lost about 22 lbs. I did SB in 2008, in addition to Krav Maga classes, and lost a whopping 80 lbs. Unfortunately, we slipped back into our lazy lifestyle and fast food and put the weight back on. I know SBD works and like the book says, it has to be a lifestyle change to make it work and keep it working. Good luck to all and remember that proper exercise will help to lose the weight / keep it off. Also, one thing that suprised me was my overall health. I had a full physical for employment and all my tests showed my numbers were at the minimum of the scales. The most shocking was that my cholesterol (which was checked in January 08) dropped from a 262 to a 127 when checked 4 months later at the end of April. Just saying to remember that SBD will not only drop the weight, but clean up your vitals too.

I'm 51 and I have had a weight problem most of my life. I have been on the South Beach Diet for two months and have lost 11lbs. I did not seem to lose as quickly as most and felt like giving up. I guess everyone is different when it comes to weight loss. I like the fact that I have no cravings whatsoever, for baked goods and I am not constantly hungry. I moved on to Phase 2, three weeks into the program. I now have added apples and Ezekiel bread to my menu. I have also maintained my weightloss of 11lbs. Before I started the South Beach Diet, I consulted with a Dietician. She told me that it would probably be impossible for me to lose any weight, since I am in menopause, but I did a little research on my own and found that high carb diets are not for me. I need to lose at least 70lbs, but will be happy with 50lbs. Don't get discouraged, the weight will come off and the South Beach Diet is realistic and you can eat regular food. I also want to mention that I have more energy and a more positive outlook. Good luck, don't ever give up!
