South Beach diet that is...

That's rather amazing!

Alex,
Isn't this phase of SouthBeach very similar to Atkins induction? What have you found to be the differences so far?

Congratulations on such a BIG loss to start with.

 

[WebmasterAlex]

I think it works on very similar principles. The big difference is there are a lot more vegetables involved, a lot less fat. Over all you would have to call this a "healthier" diet in some ways.
I do get the same "not hungry" effect although DW didn't.

 

[disykat]

Yeah! Though my weightloss hasn't been as remarkable, I love it on the beach too! I'm finding phase two very easy to do. Best wishes!

12 lbs, WOW! And 6 for you DW is wonderful too.
Congratulations!!!!

Me too!!! I LOVE the beach!!! I've lost 3lbs so far and it's been less than a week!

I agree--the Beach is great!!

I am finishing the second week of Phase 1 and I have lost 10 lbs. I started Atkins for three weeks before that, so my toal is 20 lbs. I am so excited. The beach works great for me!

Aex, great job, I am on day 13 and have lost 9lbs to date on the south beach diet and getting ready to grab my 10lb clippie by the end of the weekend.

That's great, Alex. I'm glad the new plan is working so well for you.

 

[Mattsmom]

I'm glad South Beach is working for you.

I've been on it since July. I find it very easy to do. I've lost 17.5 lbs, almost at goal.

DH and I have been doing the South Beach for about 5 weeks. I really think its been great. I lost 12 lbs. and I have been doing a little cheating. DH is down 14 lbs. I don't feel hungry and I don't even think about sugar!
