I've heard lots of good things about it and know that some of the recipes are very good. I did have one lady tell me that the pounds "just flew off" when she was on it. Sounds pretty good.I think the hard part is the first two weeks when you have to stay away from just about everything. Like any other plan, it's probably as good as any as a way to get started, but long term requires changes in lots more than eating.

Problem with that is that its not for everyone and everyone wont get the same results. Its a general diet for the general peopl and not for one specific person. Its a life long change and decide if youdo try it whether or not you are willing to stay on it forever cause thats one of the ways you will maintain your loss. Unless you choose another means of health that works for you.choose wisely

Well I exercise daily and I know that is important for long term weight loss. I am also well aware that any weight loss plan will not keep the weight off long term. That requires a life long change in behaviors when it comes to food.

exercise is the best way to go always! Keep it up

Thanks I am really trying to keep my regular exercise up. I do experience some pain with it due to my fibro. and arthritis but as long as I keep the pain level manageable and not exercise too strenuously it helps manage my arthritis and fibro. in the long run as well as puts me in a better mood.

Oops don't know why it got entered so many times. Sorry about that.

My neighbor did well on the diet so I got the book and it makes a lot of sense. My neighbor regained her weight once she was off the diet. Like so many diets, unless it is a permanent change, the weight will come back on unless you are exercising for the additional calories that have crept into our mouths. I want a magic skinny pill.

I've lost about 38 pounds on the South Beach Diet, so I LOVE IT!

i have tried numerous amounts of diets with no luck, i was like a yo- yo, gaining and losing weight. my friend convinced me to give south beach diet a try as my one last try. im so glad i listened to her, it has really changed my life. i lost 48lbs in almost 5 months.
sbd is more of a new lifestyle, and after a short 2 weeks on phase I, you can indulge in some really yummy foods! i own the cookbook, which is great btw. and the meals never get boring. the recipes are really simple too.
i think that each individual needs to find a right diet for themself. not all diets work the same on all ppl..so if youare giving up hope, try one more diet. there is alot of info here http://www.southbeachdietheart.com/...
i think they are offering a free week right now.

My family will be starting this after the first of the month (payday). I willkeep you posted as to how it goes.
