Re: south beach diet

My mom has lost 32 pounds and my brother has lost 25 on the SBD. I don't know much about it other than it is working for them...and they are not the most active people in the world.<br /><br />Kinda bums me and my boys out. Gram's house used to be loaded with goodies and sweets, not anymore :( But her health is more important than our sweet tooth, so more power to them.

Re: south beach diet

Other than Weight Watchers, its one of the safest, healthiest diets out there. Bottom line--limit your consumption of bad carbs. This diet seems to be much safer than Atkins with better long term affects.

Re: south beach diet

yeah buddy,, it kills me when people,news, media glumps this diet in with the rest.i.e. atkins an such..<br /><br />it's just a diet of good food.. it's that simple.. LOTSA GOOD CARBS.. LOTSA GOOD FATS...<br /><br />i relate it to a diet of our great grand folks.. real food.. but no whites such as sugar ,starches, heroine.. :) .. an keep what you do eat in the lower glycemic index .GI. <br />apple over say watermelon ...<br /><br />no counting of nuthin'...carbs or calories..

Re: south beach diet

Thanks for the info and the "Link" <br />The reason it caught my eye was that my wife went on the atkins diet a couple years ago. (When it was poo poo-ed and not popular at all) Yea that was only two years ago. She lost a lot of weight but then stabeled out about 20 lbs from where she wants to be. This was a year ago. Even though she exercises she has stayed the same weight. She also cheats a lot several times a week. Little stuff but, I DONT blame her a bit! I'm the cook and I cheat almost daily just to make meals taste good. And because its such a strick diet any cheating at all is taboo!<br />Time for a change I think. Just read the first two pages on the SBD and it looks good so far.<br />Will make a post on changes if made.<br />Thanks<br /><br />Richard, the order was shipped wednesday and should be here today. Will update lubedudes post with company info tonight

Re: south beach diet

I started the Atkins about three months ago, and lost 25 #s Ive been on a freeze now for about three weeks. I guess you could say that I am now more following the SBD more than the atkins, I havnt gained any back though.
