It started today.......Day 1 on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. Which means no grains, fruits, sugars, starch for 2 weeks (Except the 2nd to last day of the 2 weeks I'm gonna cheat because it will be my 30th birthday) I'm having massive withdrawals-I'm sure it doesn't help that yesterday I had pizza for lunch and then Pad Thai for dinner....so right now I'm feeling the WORST withdrawals.
I need support! Give me words of wisdom, please!!
I've done this diet before (not in a safe way though-I stayed on Phase 1 for 3 months-can we say eating disorder?) and know what to expect but its just as hard! And what makes it harder is that I'm in a healthy weight zone and wear a size 8 (sometimes 6 in dresses) at 5'7....so its harder to lean up when you're not considered overweight.
I need my girls right now....TIA

how exactly do you do south beach???? I have always been an atkins follower, but for some reason it's not working so great this time. maybe it's because i am older, but, the weight isn't coming off as fast.
I would get the South Beach Diet book. They also amke a good fats/good carbs guide, and a few cook books which really help. They also have an online website too. Good luck!

Oh my god!! This is my day 2 on the SB diet and I've been doing nothing but guzzling down diet soda (and I don't even like soda)????
I had a feast for the last time until the wedding on tuesday because I had my tasting with elegant affairs... oh my god the food is AAAAMAAAAZING!!
Anyhow, this is my first time on south beach and I can use all the tips I can get. I've tried atkins years ago with great results but I became vegetarian for like a month after because of all the meats I ate during the 2 weeks.
I've been on weightwatchers since november and I dropped only 6lbs and the scale is not moving. I have less than 4 months to get myself into biniki mode.
If you guys have advice on how to stay on this and stay sane, please help!
Spark, I wouldn't drink diet soda. I used to drink sprite zero. Then I stopped and was eating the same way. I actually lost a few pounds. Any soda, diet or not, is bad for you.

Re: On the wedding dress diet/workout bandwagon
A little off topic but...
I also want to lost like 5 pounds before the wedding. Just a tiny bit in my legs and stomach and my saggy @$$...
BUT, I'm so not motivated because I think that means I will lose my boobs...
And I don't have much to spare!
That seriously is what's preventing me from getting in shape. I think if anything, I'll eat the same (maybe a little less junk) but work out like crazy???

Re: On the wedding dress diet/workout bandwagon
So its day 3 on the south beach diet and I'm going through what they call carb withdrawl... I have a headache and the lack of energy is making me depressed. I don't even want to go shopping!!!!
I hope this is the bottom and it gets better from here.
I really need better breakfast options. I really hate eggs. I've tried everything from mock french toast to the ricotta dessert thingy... Today I just gave up and skipped breakfast.
What can I eat for breakfast that does not involve eggs???
