South Beach Diet —

The South Beach Diet is really not a diet. It is a lifestyle. I started Phase One of Southbeach two and a half years ago. I weighed over 165 pounds. With steady exercise and strict adherence to the guidelines of South Beach Diet, I was able to lose a total of 45 pounds. I now have run 2 marathons, 4 half marathons and countless shorter races.

The positive aspects of South Beach is that it is very specific as to what foods you can eat as well as what foods you can not. If you follow the lists, you will lose weight. If you exercise, you will lose even more. Phase One is rough as your allowable foods are limited. Phase Two allows you to bring in fruits and some complex carbs. Phase Three is the maintenance phase, and this phase allows you to truly begin to live your new life with an understanding on how different foods relate to each other.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to lose just a few pounds or many pounds. If you have the motivation to lose weight and you are willing to follow the guidelines, you will see success and you can keep the weight off for years to come.
