anyone know about this diet..koee side effect waghera…
Re: south beach diet
Basically for the first two weeks (phase 1), you cut out ALOT of stuff like carbs (bread, roti, rice, etc) and sweets and junk food, even fruit is not allowed…its a very strict phase… that’s why its only for two weeks..the philosophy behind it is that it’s a “detox” (without all the disgusting drink mixes), to get your body to stop craving for carbs and whatnot… the book said ti promised u’d lose 8-13 pounds and mostly in the belly…
After the phase 1 is over, you move ot phase 2, which is slowly adding good carbs and even fruit, back into the diet… but only a lil at a time, just to make it gradually…you’re supposed to stay on this phase until you lose however much weight you need to lose (20, 30, etc)…the author also promised that the cravings and stuff would be gone…
Once you get past phase 2, you move on to phase 3 which is just maintaining the weight..that I think is the most relaxed phase, in that nothing is off limits, you just have to use common sense (lke no fried chicken everyday or burgers for lunch everyday :))…
Side effects, I dont think there are any…since there’s no “pills” or somethng weird to do, other than just cutting out the food that’s mostly bad for you…above all it just takes discipline and control..I lasted on it for one day

Re: south beach diet
where do u find info on this diet??? Like what to eat and what not? Besides buying the book and reading the whole thing…too lazy…:halo:
Re: south beach diet
U CAN GET ALL THE DETAILS online ,,ok ill ask her....last weekend i bought 3 cases of slimfast,,first ill finsh them and will start that S,B diet..(Hope so;)
Re: south beach diet
i'm sure slim fast has a lot of sugar in it which aint good to take, however you should take promax diet drink like slim fast however it has ingrediants that burns fat even when you dont exercise and hardly has any sugar in it, and along that you take thermobol tablets which is garlic base it taste disgusting but its really good as it works.
iv been taking this combination and going gym 3 to 4 times a week and have lost 2. 1/2 stone under three months.
do not take all your carbs out as you need it for energy just have your 6 small meals a day this increase your motabalism which also makes you loose weight too..
Re: south beach diet
you have to be careful that you stick to low fat items thru the whole process. you're still building up athersclerotic plaques with a high lipid diet.
Re: south beach diet
with this diet do u strictly lose fat or are u losing muscle too?
Re: south beach diet
^ At first you're kinda losing waterweight (during phase 1) coz ur cutting out all carbs and all... and then onto phase two , u start losing fat... ur sposed to work out to build muscle I think
Re: south beach diet
Yeah its very rapid. Within 2 days you start looking healthier and feeling healthier, and dare I say you start seeing a glow on your face.
Re: south beach diet
so where can i get info on the diet??? Besides having to read a 200pg book on it???
Re: south beach diet
does this diet also help you lose weight past a weight that you have been at for a long time???? Or is it mostly for ppl that have gained weight?
Re: south beach diet
one of my friends was on carb diet she lost a lot of wieght n got really slim but afta sumtime she started having back pain which was cuz due to diet she had iron deficiency......
Re: south beach diet
Seriously? 
I really gotta get back on it 
Re: south beach diet
If you go back to "normal" eating habits then yeah ti does..its mostly a "lifestyle" change...meaning u eat healtheir for all your life...rather than just do something temporarily to drop a few pounds to put it back on
Re: south beach diet
do u know were i can get more information from,?
Re: south beach diet
theres also a southbeach recipe book and it has recipes for every phase so if you get that, its a lot easier to figure out what to eat.
Re: south beach diet
I did it couple of yrs ago and i think it works as a short term fix.
Re: south beach diet
I went to barnes and nobles bookstore and i was browsing through magazines...i came across this diet magazine....which had consumer reports on the best diet plan and best diet book. Two of the best diet plans are volumetrics and Jenny Craig...for short term and after 1 year weight loss..these seemed to work the best. Out of the five best diet books south beach diet came under the 3 or 4th best diet....it didn't rank as high as i thought it would....
