Anyone doing South Beach???

I am thinking of trying this out, especially since I know some people on here have done really well....My DR. told me I have to lower my carb intake because it seriously affects my hypoglycemia AND my hypothyroidism, not to mention I am borderline Type 2 diabetic (it ***** that I have all that crapp to deal with but I am SO GLAD to finally know what's been wrong with me all these years!!!)

Anyone doing it now??? I will probably start on Sunday or Monday because it's my nephews birthday tomorrow and I want to drink and eat cake!!!

I started south beach on tuesday and I feel great, I have more energy and I have lost 4 lbs already. It definetly works if you stick to it. I did it a couple of years ago for my brothers wedding and I lost 20 lbs, but I put it back on because I stopped watching what I was eating because the wedding was over. So now I really have to stick to it, because whatever I lose I dont want to gain back.

awesome!!!!! maybe we could be diet buddies!!

I don't follow South Beach - I basicaly do Atkins. I haven't had sugar, flour, potatoes, etc. in over 3 years. I lost over 70 pounds and have basically kept it off. If you stick with it, it's not bad. Good luck with it!

08er crashing...hi liz I'm on day 13 of south beach phase one and i love it. Down 11 lbs and my sugar levels are so much better. I was checking my blood sugars on a regular basis because my endocronologist was trying to find a pattern of when my sugar was dropping (dropped down to the 50s on a regular basis) and for me, anything under 75 is low and i feel terrible. I love how i feel so much that im staying on phase 1 for at least an additional 2 weeks! FM with any questions. GL!

your too much. Maybe it's just from your body adjusting to the change of diet. I can't believe I'm getting married in 1 year from today. Hopefully the weather is not the same.

It will make for some beautiful pics!!! I was just posting a myspace comment on your page about it being one year!!! I tried on my gown again last night, well the sample anyway. Joes mom completely lost it!!!!!! I want to wear it everyday

Omg, I did it and wound up sick! I am very active so the no carb thing made me sooo ill.

Would u consider weight watchers? I can send u links of all the points and a calculator. Its safer andyou are eating real food!

I was very sick to my stomach the first couple of days, but now I'm ok, I guess my body just had to adjust to it.

Weight Watchers and South Beach work really well. Except weight watchers is more nutritionally sound. It was actually developed by a dietitian and a doctor. It teaches important things like portion sizes and it helps you make sound decisions so that you can be full. It works and you'll never be hungry. South Beach is good but i totally think that no carbs is bad for you. You need carbohydrate for energy. It's only when you overeat carbs that you'll gain weight. However the second phase of South Beach is very good because you get to eat whole grain starches.

Ditto...i lost 50 lbs on ww (before and after pics in my album). After my surgery in september, i hit a plateau that lasted til February when i started south beach to give my body a boost. I do miss ww but im getting great results on sb

I've been great....BUSY! I went back to graduate school so I try to do all my readings and papers and try not to be on here too much. How have you been? I see soooo many new people and don't feel like I know anyone anymore!

thanks ladies!!

i've done weight watchers before and done great, but my DR is concerned that the carbs are causing my hypoglycemia, or at least triggering my crashes...thats why he thinks south beach would help stabilize my sugar...he told me so far:

no white bread
no pasta
no refined sugar
no refined carbs
no processed foods

i really have to ease into this as that is the majority of what i eat but i am starting medication for my hypothyroidism which may help...im more concerned with keeping the diabetes under control!!

I used to do slimfast....
if u go to google and type in ediets success story jenn d i will come up...

ive lost alot since the after as well on weight watchers....LOVE WW
