My sister does it all the time.
I think it is no carbs, fruit or vegetables for Phase 1. Then phase 2 you introduce vegetables and fruit.
I think.....

Re: anyone on south beach diet
i am on it. the first 2 weeks i noticed the most loss. thats phase 1, the strictest phase. you can google it and get all the info but its basically all veggies except starchy ones, lean meats and eggs and lowfat dairy. no sugar/flour. really, its not hard at all!

I've been doing it for a year and a half; the books really help b/c they have a lot of meal/snack ideas. It's tough but you get used to it; feel free to FM me if you want more info... Good luck!

I want to try that too. Or the pizza and diet coke diet that makes you lose 20lbs in a week as long as you don't exercise too much - oh wait, I dreamed that one up. Seriously though, let me know if you find a good book or something. I want to try.

Re: anyone on south beach diet
i did south beach a few years ago, went from 125 to 108 lbs. it totally works, but is hard to keep up, you have to basically eat healthy for the rest of your life to maintain. It's a good diet to get on if you want to lose weight fast. (most of my weight loss was in the first 3 weeks)
ETA: phase one is really restrictive, basically no sugar/carbs. lots of lean protein and veggies, no fruit or juice. that lasts two weeks i believe, then you start to add in healthy carbs like fruit and whole grains.

Re: anyone on south beach diet
i just started reading the new book called 'South beach' super charged. Basically it incorporates a interval training program with the diet now.
I did well on atkins (lost 20lbs in 6 weeks) but all the fat messes with my tummy, so I am looking into South Beach as an option.
About 7 years ago I lost 80lbs on WW and kept 60 of it off. I found i feel better on a high protien diet and have a lot more energy than I did on WW.
Just some thoughts.
I have some pages of the foods that are permited for each Phase. i can try to scan tonight and email if you like.
FM me and let me know.
