south beach diet
I weigh 146 lbs. and would like to get down to 110 lbs. in about 3 months time. I am interested in trying the South Beach Diet and would like to know if anyone has any information regarding if it really works or not. Has anyone actually tried it before?? I was thinking about joining online at www.southbeachdiet.com but I do not want to waste my time and money if it does not truly work. Thank you very much.

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Any diet that is based on the deprivation of a vital macronutrient (Whether it be fat, protein or carbs) is a diet that is not stable in nature and will end up doing more damage in the long run. Now everyone who reads this is probably like "Cha right what the hell does he know?" I'll be honest with you- it works, but not in the ways that you really want it to, so I suggest you don't even waste your time or money and just focus on controlling portions, eating your nutrients in this caloric breakdown during the day- 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat. There is no magic pill or diet, none at all no matter what some crackhead doctor or so called fitness "guru" claims. Hey Atkins Nutritionals recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, why? Because people are realizing that this low carb garbage such as Atkins and South Beach that were a craze for a few years suck in the long run.

Hi, I don't know a thing abot the SB diet... but I don't believe diets are a good thing. People seem to 'lose' and regain! A vicious cycle that takes your time energy and focus away from the real issue.
I strongly suggest looking at you and your lifestyle. Do you get enough exercise???? This is one key to enjoying good health and balance.
Get your heart rate up...... walking fast, especially uphill is really good.... this is what I do. Swimming would be good because it doesn't sprane tendons or muscles but I can't do the chlorine. Speed walking or light jogging(only with the right/good shoes and stretching prior to doing it)
Also, the second and very important key is nutritional intake. We are definitely what we eat and don't eliminate.
Look at what you consume in an average day! Any white flour(most wheat flour is mostly white and is 'wallpaper past')? Breads, muffins, cookies, sphagetti, pasta, pastries, cakes, pancakes, waffles, cereals. These put weight on a person faster than anything unless you have the thyroid to die for like my brother does.
Also dairy products clog the liver and don't make the kidneys very happy either. And it build mucuous in your mucous membranes.
And soda pop....hmmmm..not good either, especially the diet ones! Drinking the diet ones kills brain cells our body NEVER repairs! But that doesn't directly help with weight balance, but is vital to know about.
So..... it's ALL about getting the right amount of exercise and eating right. You CANNOT gain weight on steamed veggies and rice!!! For one example!l
Wisely look at your lifestyle and what you eat in a day's time. I believe you'll see better that you could make changes/adjustments and will in a short time, greatly benefit from your 'higher and better choices!
Hope this helps you, it was my intention to inform and support not make you feel bad or less of yourself. It's just that I've been where you are and I have found my way out of that dysfunctional way of being... and so can YOU!
I wish you well!
