Only low-carb diets seem to work for me and I'm leaning toward South Beach this time for I can't stay on Atkins for even one day. This is my 2nd day on SB and as bad as I hate eggs and eating so much meat, I'm sticking to it. The only slip up has been eating more almonds than allowed. I already feel better than I did when I ate everything I wanted, but time will tell. Question: If we choose to have the alloted portion of one kind of nut, does that mean we can't have any other type of nut that same day or any peanut butter that day?????

Both my husband and I are starting the South Beach diet today (June 1st,08). We both have stomach issues so the doctor recommended this diet. I have been on diets before but never been able to lose weight. Will let everyone know after phase 1 how much we have lost.

I went on the south beach diet and it took me 1 year to lose 35 pounds. However, I chose to think of it as a way of life, so I allowed myself to cheat with one thing once a day, and then it wasn't a diet anymore, it was a lifestyle. So even though it took me longer to lose the weight, I never felt like I was missing anything, and I felt so much better with the weight off it was incredible. I got a little off track for a while and so I am starting over with Phase 1 and I am having my mother, my sister, my best friend, and two of my sister-in-laws join me with a diet and exercise program so that we have a support group to get this done right. We are all excited about getting started. I will check back in a few months with the results. Recommend this diet to everyone! It worked for me, and that is a miracle!
