South Beach Diet? How does it work?

[wiskband]

Hi everyone. I have decided I would like to try the SB diet. I dont know much about it and I havent been able to find alot of info via internet unless I buy the book. Truth is, money is tight right now, I have no time to read it and I am eager to start immediatly! So if anyone has any info they wouldn;t mind passing this way, I would appreciate it!
Perhaps an allowed food list, rules of induction, phases, or even web sites.
Thanks all.................

Do a google search, you will find some things. Also, call your local library and ask if they have the book. It may be out, but they will put you on the reserve list. Also, check out any book resellers, (we have 2 used book places here in town) perhaps they might have a copy. Good luck!

Hi Renee

Sorry I couldn't chat more last night. http://www.south-beach-diet-information.com/ has information on the foods to enjoy and avoid from the original list. http://www.southbeachdiet.com/updates.asp has the latest updates to the list. That should be enough to get you started. Like others have said, I would try to at least borrow a copy of the book to read through either from a friend or the library. The book really goes into a lot about why he recommends or not recommends certain things. Good luck

Go to prevention.com .

They have a bulletin board dedicated to South Beach--you can join so you can post...but they have some excellent threads for newbies that they repost weekly so they don't get lost in the shuffle.

That is where I got ALL of my south beach info. Drives me crazy that the Doc charges a fee for his web-site. Redicoulous.
