This is my first day on South Beach Diet. It’s been so hard since I live off of carbs…when will these cravings subside? And please tell me good recipes…I don’t like vegetables.

I am addicted to diet coke, like 6-8 cans a day, but I’m pretty sure I use it to self medicate. I have raynaud’s phenomenon, and I often get dizzy or nauseous when I stand up. In general, my blood doesn’t get to where its trying to go fast enough. There are [...]

I really like Chinese food but im a vegetarian and on the south beach diet (phase one- no fruit or grains). Anyone know how to make really good food like the kind in the Chinese resturants (egg drop soup, egg foo young ect)?

Okay I love food.
I know I’m not the skinniest girl on the block so here is my question:
If you saw me stuffing my face, or if I confessed to eating 2 dinners and then some (and i’m telling you this as I’m probably munching on my french fries), would you be thinking, "Gawd, you’ll be [...]

For Phase 1.
Remember, easy stuff that you dont need a TON of things to buy to make it, and something GOOD.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner.
THANKS.

I eat extremely healthy food as a fifteen year old in high school, and in the first day of school I brought a sack lunch that included tofu, green beans, carrots, corn, veggie hotdog sliced into it, and two apples. Everyone at my table had either no lunch or a greasy pepperoni pizza topped with [...]

I work nights so I sleep for a few hours before I go to work and when I come home I take a 3 hour nap. This causes me to miss my 2 hour meal. I am unsure when I should start eating during the day and when I should stop. Many [...]

I have heard that if you are on the southbeach diet and then BREAK it or decide
to go off it, you will regain ALOT of weight in a very short amount of time.
Is this true?

I’m 18 and i’m a girl. I’m 5′1 I weight about 132 now, i’ve lost 8 pounds..some days i’ll weigh 130 but heaviest i weigh, is 132. I’m a dancer, so i’m kind of in shape but no where near what i want to be. The thing is, i HATE salads and i eat everything [...]

i eat healthy and have been losing about a pound a week. will this exercise help me lose more weight if i stick to the same diet?

I’m just starting this diet and want to know if it really worked long term for others. I’m open to any suggestions that could help me succeed!

I just got my Insanity in the mail, and I’m wondering what kind of results to expect.
I’m 5′9" and I weigh 145lbs. (this puts my BMI at 21.4) I very rarely exercise (until now), but I’m not obese either so I’d say I have a pretty good metabolism. I don’t plan on following the diet [...]

well, I’ve reduced my caloric intake for about 1400 calories a day since march, but I let my self eat whatever I want including either chocolate, coke or chips..etc. I also eat lots of carbs like rice and bread. Is that bad? and why if it is. I also started exercising twice a week for [...]

Thanks in Advance!!!
Yes I know what Atkins is – hence my name. I do NOT know about the South Beach, is why I was asking!

Ok I’m starting this diet to lose weight. The reason I gained it in the first place is because I just buy some fast food because its easy, quick, and taste good. I’m used to natural food because thats what my mother used to cook with. I just don’t know how to shop for them [...]

After high school I began to notice that my body is changing. I’m as fit. And for some reason It bothers me and I continue to eat more. I’m looking to place myself on a healthy well organized diet. Maybe a food diary. thats pre-organized and recorded??? and ofcourse Im working [...]

-I eat Chicken, Turkey, Seafood, some Beef, I don’t eat pork.

-Lots of fruits and vegetables.
-I eat cereal, oatmeal, pasta, rice, pancakes
-I have to drink soy milk because regular Milk makes me [...]

I was thinking about trying the South Beach Diet. I know what it is and I have a book on how to do it. My question is for those who have tried it. What kind of experience did you have with it?
