A year ago, I lost 15 pounds (got down to my target weight) and lowered my cholesterol 77 points eating pretty much the way South Beach recommends – no refined starches (bread and pasta must be whole grain), no (or almost no) sugar, and brown instead of white rice. Also, no full animal fats, “good” fats – like olive and canola oil. Low fat dairy.

I have always been against most “diet” plans, but I read an excerpt from the South Beach book, and found that it totally made sense, gave me a good explanation of what went on when I ate refined carbs, and gave me helpful lists of good foods to eat. Read more »

Doing this diet last year was a very gratifying experience. I lost weight at a very quick rate, somewhere between 32-36 lbs in less than 2 1/2 months. My goal was to lose 100 lbs. I stopped following the diet because of all the bad hype and decided to join Weight Watchers. As soon as I did that, I noticed my desire for carbs and junk was back in full force.

Review from Jenny (New York, NY)

Please, think very cautiously about this diet prior to doing it. Primary, as obviously stated in the book, the goal is to send the body into ketosis. Actually, they even advise getting the ketosis strips that diabetics
use to test for ketosis. Diabetics want to avoid ketosis – AND SO SHOULD YOU!!! Ketosis is basically
your body eating on itself. You lose weight because your body eats on itself. It does NOT burn fat. It eats away
at your lean muscle tissue.

In the meantime, your body is literally starving for the nutrition it needs. It goes into starvation mode. It thinks
it’s suffering from famine. It starts conserving everything it can. You’re losing weight, but your body is distressing from starvation. Read more »
