The South Beach Diet Reviews
by on at 5:35 PM CDT
I started this about two weeks ago after losing 40 lbs on Weight Watchers- I felt nauseous and heart burn on Weight Watchers, relied on bread and pasta to fill me up- a very "Beige" diet with a big bowl of veggies once a day- I just couldn't stick to it any more, I was feeling so confined in what I ate- hungry all the time

I like South Beach- I started by getting some deli turkey slices and some light cheeses (Mozz, jack, cheddar and havarti)- not non-fat, as SBD advises against- and happily eat those through the day, eggs and veggies a couple times a day with a light protien meal like tuna salad or grilled chicken salad for dinner- lost 6 lbs, some water but clothes are fitting better- had cramps after a cheat one day (full sugar chocoalte puding)

I call this a 'no crap' diet- not low carb, not low fat or fad- just 'no crap'

If you don't like the traditional dieters plate of raw veggies (I don't) then try sauteeing chopped veggies of your choice in seasonsing salt, with broth or water or lemon juice to help them cook- very yummy! IT recommends 4-5 cups of veggeies a day, don't miss out or your body will feel BAD

Lots of liquid too- I drink tea with milk all day (I'll deal with caffeine addition another time)

After the first week on SBD, I've lost 7lbs. Definitely a good amount of water weight but I tend to bloat so I don't mind. Feeling good and inspired... I did NOT cut back on caffeine - I have a toddler - and still am losing weight and each day have fewer cravings.

When I do have sweet cravings I have sugar free jello pudding and/or diet pop. Diet Root Beer is a real treat.

For carb cravings, I pulled a Sex and the City stunt (when they took the trip to L.A.). I took a bite of lasagna, chewed it, spit it out and rinsed my mouth. That was enough. I tried the same with a dessert.

I feel good about the strict guidelines of Phase I because I was enjoying too much wine anyway and the calories were adding up. Happy to report I am not missing that relaxation technique.

sbd works for me, this is the second time i'm trying to lose weight with it, and still without fail, i am able to lose 9-10 lbs. after two weeks. phase I result is great, but i have to say that there is really not much variety as to what i can eat and i get so bored at eating. so i consider a large part of my weight loss may have come from i starving myself because i don't want more cheese sticks or a handful of nuts. anyways, i look forward to the coming of phase II where eating may become more of a joy to me again i suppose! :) best luck to all the dieters!!
