intoxikated Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I was thinking about getting this....what exactly is the south beach diet? Is it like Atkins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollrgrll222 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 the cookbook is very specific...and if you are on a budget you might have problems...it can be very expensive. I tried it for awhile but I don't like cooking everyday so it kinda lost my interest...plus I was broke...dollar menu.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoxikated Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Actually, I just looked at the link, and I already eat a lot of the "foods to enjoy"...I don't know if I could completely cut out pasta and cereal, though...I've tried, but I can usually never go more than a few carbless days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollrgrll222 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I've lost weight recently by just changing my eating habits. I rarely eat bread and when I do , it's whole wheat. I cut down on carbs and sugar. It's helped so far..lots of salad and fruit. That works for me. and no eating after 10pm...your body doesn't burn off the calories at night while you sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubbingirl Posted April 4 Author Report Share Posted April 4 New Study Supports South Beach Diet PrinciplesThe results are in from a recent study comparing a diet following the principles of The South Beach Diet™ with a portion-controlled, low-fat diet. The study, which will be published in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine, followed 69 overweight or obese (but otherwise healthy) men and women, ages 18 to 65, over a period of 12 weeks. This group was divided into two, with one group following a plan modeled after Phase 2 of The South Beach Diet™ and the other group following the low-fat diet. While both groups shed extra pounds over the 12 weeks, the amount and type of weight lost was remarkably different. Participants who followed The South Beach Diet™ model lost twice as much weight as those following the portion-controlled, low-fat plan and also showed greater losses in body fat. The study also showed that the group adhering to The South Beach Diet™ principles — focusing on the right carbohydrates and fats, nutrient-dense whole foods, lean sources of protein, and lots of fiber — experienced significant reductions in triglycerides and their ratio of total/HDL cholesterol, meaning that they lowered their risk of a heart attack. What was the most surprising revelation of all? While The South Beach Diet™ group was instructed to eat until they were satisfied, whereas the low-calorie group stuck to a strict calorie-counting system, the first group still consumed fewer calories with no counting involved. Clearly, choosing a plan with the right carbs and the right fats, such as The South Beach Diet™, is the right choice when it comes to weight loss and adopting a long-term healthy lifestyle.
