South Beach Diet? Any feedback?

I know a husband and wife team, friends of mine, who tried it together 2 years ago. They got all into it at first and quickly fizzled out. I'm sorry I don't know much else about it. I myself did weight watchers and had good luck with it, but the best of all was a FREE website called www.sparkpeople.com. I can barely believe it's free and keep waiting for the catch. It counts all your calories for you and gives you an eating plan that is more detailed to your likes and dislikes than anything I'v ever seen.

I did try this diet and it worked, I did lose weight, but I have IBS and the foods just didn't work with my IBS. It was all the wrong foods and it just aggravated it. But the diet is good and the food is delicious. As with any diet, the hardest part for me is actually following the plan. If you follow it you will lose weight. Good luck.

Two close friends of mine tried the South Beach Diet. One did it because he was diabetic, and the other did it because she was married to him, and wanted to support his eating habits. They have not had luck with this diet. They have been unhappy with the food and the physical feeling of weariness they get while participating. This is not to say it won't work. But Weight Watchers was recommended to me for people with weight problems and high blood pressure. I have PCOS and that can lead to diabetes if one is not careful. You don't have to go to meetings, and you can participate online. Oh, and one diet to avoid is Nutrisystem. Trust me, don't pay the money, it's not worth it.

The soutbeach diet is very popular here in the Philippines. There are well known celebrities who were not slim before but, when they got into the southbeach diet, they really did get great well shaped bodies. They had to have exercises, too, but these are very easy to comply with as the exercises required are mostly running and walking. The kind which the treadmill can cater to. The one who had dramatically benefited from it is an actor who has a surename of Rivero. I forgot his firstname. I am very forgetful, sorry. He used to be huge, more than 200 kilograms I think and now he is down less than 70 kilograms (if my memory serves me right). There is a celebrity bf-gf who are Ryan Agoncillo and Judy-Ann Santos. The current shapes these three are in now will definitely convince everyone that the southbeach diet is very effective. The foods are good, too. There's meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and rice. You will like it. I hope you will share with me the secrets of southbeach diet when you get into the program. I am overweight, too. But I cannot enrol in the program because from where I am, I haven't heard of any office which can provide us the full information.

When I was in the Philippines, a friend of mine tried the South Beach Diet and indeed lost weight because she coupled it with exercise (going to the gym) as well. The problem, she said, is that it's quite expensive to maintain in the sense that she's not preparing the food but gets them from a fancy restaurant that prepares the South Beach meals for customers. In my case, here in the U.S., I'm into Nutrisystem and I already lost 5 pounds in two weeks. It's not much because I don't exercise at all, so for me it's fine (at least there's some weight loss). My sister and my roommate already lost a lot of weight from Nutrisystem meals because they engage into sports, too. Good luck!

i know someone who lost 170lbs thru southbeach diet.. he had to pair it with exercise and determination.. he was 350 and now he's 180.. he somewhat got rid of another body.. hehe

I have never tried it but one person who I know was on it and lost between 70-80 lbs. I have thought about it. I have tried the Atkins diet and had some success.
