South Beach Diet

Hey:
Just bought the book.
Any feedback from someone who actually uses the diet?

Last week I lost 2.6 pounds for a total loss of 10 pounds during the
two weeks of Phase I. I continue to feel energetic and I am
certain my body is very excited that I am no longer bombarding it
with junk food! I was surprised that my weight loss last week
wasn’t more because clothes are fitting better, my face is noticably
thinner, and my wrists and thin enough now to reach around them with
my thumb and finger.
After a kind Group member emailed to tell me about the CAFFEINE in
One-a-Day Weight Smart, I threw away the bottle. It never occurred
to me to read the label of a vitamin bottle. Anyway, I very much
appreciate her letting me know.
How are the rest of you doing????

Has anybody tried making your own bubbly soda? It’s great. Make your own
Seltzer water, drink it plain or with flavor…….

Hi everyone!
Last week was exciting!!! Not only did I start SBD, I also joined
this Group. I’ve enjoyed reading your emails. Since last Sunday, I’ve lost 7.4 pounds….only 103.6 pounds to go!
Besides the loss of pounds and overall feeling of well-being,
another amazing thing happened. You-know-what started on Thursday
and this is the first time in YEARS that I didn’t bloat. I have
severe endometriosis and the pain was minimal this month. What a
relief!
BTW, rather than meals and snacks, I eat 5-6 “mini-meals” each day.
I eat about the same amount of food each time I eat. At least one
of those meals is a Protein Shake. I also take One-a-Day Weight
Smart and Vitamin C….500 mg three times/daily. In addition, I
drink about 84 oz of water each day. I did not do any exercise last
week but plan to start walking.
How did the rest of you do last week?
