I have been the on the South Beach diet for approximately 2 years now, but I have lately fallen off the diet. It is very easy to remain at your goal weight if you stay within bounds of Phase 2 of the diet. I feel Phase 3 is a little too liberal because it is easy to slip into old eating habits once you start to consume sugars again. My reason for being on the diet was because of a high cholesterol problem, the SBD was recommended by my doctor instead of the Atkins because it is a more enjoyable way to eat. The hardest part is staying in control on Phase 1. Considering the alternatives, it's an excellent diet.

I started the South Beach Diet over two weeks ago. I'm in phase 2 now, and love phase one. My Brother in law and mother in law have been on this for 4 months and he has already lost 62 pounds. They have been going 2 weeks phase one and then two weeks phase two and say that it speeds up the weight lost process. So far I have lost 13lbs and my husband has lost 15. We love it, and find that there are many things that we can eat now, just substituting many ingredients. Still have to finish reading the book thought. I love this new lifestyle. It's not a diet but a heathly lifestyle.

Today was my first day on this diet. I am craving a piece of cake or even a piece of bread !! BUT..I did not feel tired today like I normally do. I did not feel hungry either. I haven't eaten much today, but I guess the things that I have eaten were so good for me they fueled me through out the entire day. My mother who is shaped exatly the same way as I am(a lower abdomen pooch) has been on this diet for about a month and a half and she has no more pooch!! I am dying for carbs right now..but when I see my mom, I know that I too will be rid of my belly very soon!!
