After struggling with my weight on Weight Watchers I need something different. I heard about South Beach Diet, and decided to try it. Today was day one. Not bad at all! I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything! I am looking forward to see the results after stage one is over. And, I still need to buy the book, I got the "do's" and "don'ts" online. I will buy the book tomorrow though. Good Luck to EVERYONE!!!

Hi to ALL ... I am a newbie. About 3 weeks ago I started The Paleo Diet Plan. This is very similar to Adkins & South Beach. It is going very well. I'm doing this not actually to lose weight, but for better health. I've always been a processed food junkie. The reason I'm writing this is to urge anyone starting out on low carb to make sure you do the 2 week "detox" to start. I didn't realize the importance of this. I couldn't understand why I continued to have such sugar cravings, until I found an article that explained it. Basicly your body sees all carbs as sugar. The fruit I was eating was keeping my desire for sugary food high. I've backtracked into the "detox" phase, omitting the fruits, and keeping the carbs under 20grams per day. This has already wiped out my desire for sweets ... Yippee! Good Luck on your low carb plan.

Hi, My hubby is training for a marathon, so he's trying to lose the belly fat. I, on the other hand are just trying to lose the fat. We just started today and I'm already amazed that I'm not starving or craving as I usually do throughout the day. This is probably the easiest diet to follow and it was fun cleaning out the "junk" from the pantry & fridge. Somehow, that initself was freeing....:o)
