Hello and welcome aboard! Don't know too much about the South Beach Diet but I'm sure someone else will be able to chime in on that. Anywho, welcome!
Hiya Cornmom! Nice to meet you and welcome aboard. hank
Greetings Cornmom and welcome to Featherish.com! The South Beach Diet is one of the many extremely popular low carb/high protein diets which are now in vogue. The premise of a low carb diet is as follows: 1)Americans eat too many carbs 2)If they switch to a low carb and high protein diet, you will lose the cravings you get for sweet (high in sugar) and starchy foods. As time progresses your body changes and you are less hungry for the types of foods which were making you fat. Plus you have the added benefit of burning off the excess pounds you have stored through the process of ketosis. The medical community still is debating the efficacy of these diets, but many people can tell you they have had a great deal of success using these plans. Sorry my answer wasn't more specific to the South Beach Diet but it should give you a starting point for further research.
Hi Irene, I'm new here too! I live in upstate NY too! I need to lose about 70 lbs too! I've been investigating the South Beach diet too! Ok, ok, now I'm just being annoying. But truly, I'm on the local library's hold list for the South Beach Diet and am considering giving it a try. I bought one of those news stand magazines (maybe Woman's World?) a month or so ago and they gave a good overview of the diet. Unfortunately that's at home and I'm at work. But I'll take a look when I get home. And I'll keep a lookout here in case anyone answers. I'd love to hear how people might be doing on it. :D - Joan (in Rochester)
Welcome to you! How long is the hold for that book? I have been cutting back on my carbs, and I've noticed I don't crave sweets nearly as bad as I used to. I've been trying to get a walk in everyday, but the weather here has been kinda uncooperative for a while. I haven't really been following a diet plan per say, but I have managed to lose a few pounds. Isn't the South Beach Diet comparable to the Atkins diet?
I'm the 6th person on the list and there are 2 holdable copies. Sounds like you are doing good with what you are doing. The weather here has been really rainy so I haven't been getting out for walks. Haven't been doing much of anything. Need to gear up and get going, though.
