South Beach Diet

[2011SummerBride]

Hi everyone,

I have just started the South Beach diet, literally only yesterday and I'm just wondering if anyone else has done it and if you found it successful or not? It's only been a day and a bit and I'm already finding it hard without the carbs! Mind you, being carb-less is only for 2 weeks. You never really realise how nearly everything you eat has carbs in them There seems to be lots of success stories so hopefully it'll work with 7 months to the wedding

What is the south beach diet?

[2011SummerBride]

It is basically a diet that is apparently very easy to keep to (once you get past the first two weeks I assume). You cut out all carbs, crisps, biscuits, sweets, fruit etc for the first two weeks and then introduce them back in as it's supposed to suppress your cravings. I signed up to it at southbeachdiet.com I think it is, hopefully it's worth it in the end. It's my first 'proper' diet and struggling already, hehe.

OMG that is crazy!! I lost 5 stone in 2 years but have put on about 2 because it just got so hard. Im getting back into it slowly enough. I gave up carbs for a week and i really struggled! Its tough going. You need the right attitude for it,
Hope it goes well

Sounds very hard to stick to.
Tell me to shut up but would it not be better if you where to control portion size, stop eating Rubbish and Exercise a bit more...

[2011SummerBride]

Yeh, you're probably right but I am useless at doing that. At least if I feel like I have to stick to an actual diet then I'm probably more likely to do that... But it's early days yet
