Today is day one one of the South Beach Diet for me - AGAIN.
This time my sister Veronica is doing it with me.
When I first tried South Beach in 2006, I lost 8 lbs in two weeks. When I stayed on track I was able to take off a total of 20 lbs and keep it off for more than a year.
It's pretty intense because phase one of the South Beach diet (the first two weeks) doesn't allow you to eat any "bad" carbs - like bread, sugar, alcohol or even fruit. Your diet is low fat and low carb. Salads and green veggies are a staple along with lean meats and cheese.
Phase two is when you start in incorporating whole wheat bread and some fruits back in.
I'm not a dietician or nutritionist, so if you'd like to explore the diet, I'd suggest you read the book:
and watch this video by the creator, Dr. Arthur Agatston:
