Just dont think about it...the craving goes away in a couple of days. Im not doing SBD, but I am doing low carb, and I was a carb addict. I have been on this diet for 7 days now and I dont have a craving for bread, or sugar anymore...Stick with it, It will get easier.

Re: Is anyone doing South Beach Diet?

I am on my 8th day of SBD - according to the scale this morning - I have lost 7 pounds!!!

I also have my period so who knows if it's even a little more than that! I think my body is also in ketosis b/c for the first time today I realized that my breath is bad!

Who thought I'd ever be excited about that!!!
I am not craving bread - but I am missing ketchup horribly and want to eat something sweet other than sugar free jello!

Re: Is anyone doing South Beach Diet?

I am doing Weight Watchers and South Beach.
Been cheating too much lately so the scale has stalled but I have lost 15 pounds in 2 months and my FH has lost close to 20.

The first two weeks are the hardest but if you plan it's not so bad.
Phase II gets tricky because you are allowed some healthy carbs and I wonder if that triggered the cravings for me because since I started phase II I sneak stuff all the time.

But today marks 2 weeks until dress shopping so I have to be hard core and stick to it.
