South Beach Diet

Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone is on or has tried the south beach diet. I just ordered the book off amazon and was hoping someone would be able to give me their views, opinions and advice regarding this diet. I hate thinking about dieting because i love food and cooking. I never had to worry about my weight untill recently. I am just getting bigger by the minute. I know i need to start hitting up the gym again, but i also want a healthy yet tastey diet. Any help?

I've done the South Beach diet. I was able to lose 20 pounds in roughly 3 months. Did great as long as I stuck to it. Like any diet as soon as you go back to your old ways, the weight seems to sneak back. hissyfit.gifhissyfit.gifYou're allowed to eat a lot of really good food...things you could fix yourself...which is what I liked about it. I was relatively easy to do. Just stick to it and you'll do great! Good luck!

I've done SB before and I'm actually going to start it again on Friday!! The last time I tried it, I lost 12 lbs in the first 2 weeks. I didn't really have time to prepare many of the recipes but the ones I tried were good. I pretty much did my own thing bu just having salads or a protein with veggies for dinner, etc....After not eating carbs for about 3-4 days, it got much easier and I actually lost the cravings for carbs (and I have a major sweet tooth). The only downfall (IMO) is once you fall off the wagon and have some carbs, its almost insatiable...I couldn't stop eating carbs (the bad carbs) and I gained almost double of what I lost. So its very important that after Phase 1, one gets used to eating the good carbs and continue with the program for the long haul (a lifestyle change) and not just temporary (this is what I plan to do, once again!).

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
