South Beach Diet

My requests to hear from some of you is granted today. I guess the request is for my NY South Beach club I posted to.

I am moving on to Phase 2 today. I am older and only lost 2 or 3 pounds during the 2 weeks. I figured I must have cut calories by only 500 a day to lose. I still eat a lot!! I think I must use about 2000 a day to keep the weight and that I cut to about 1500 or thereabouts.

I use glyconutrients in conjunction with the diet. The link is in my signature, if it interests anyone.However if there are rules in here about this I won’t post signature. You can always ask me about it all.

How about some of you posting once in awhile? I know you have received benefits.

Love,

Hello. I am curious as to if it is possible to build good
quantities of muscle while using this plan, and if regular weight
training and cardiovascular excersize will speed up the weight
loss….?

hi,
today is my first day of sbd and i am eating my salad for lunch. i
had to clean out my fridge in order to not cheat and just stock only
phase 1 food. i have dieted before but never completed. i want to
lose at least 30lbs. and to be honest haven’t had much salad, making
a salad at home for lunch today well i couldn’t remember ever doing
that in my life. so this is a big change. i started this because my
dad started the sbd two months ago and lost close to 38lbs. and he
is worst then i am on cheating on diets so i thought i would give
it a shot. any advice on phase 1 from those who have completed?
on the go breakfast? snacks? updates? i’m trying to stay away from
nuts, i tend not to
count too well

I can’t stop eatting peanut butter with celery. This must be bad in
some way. I think I consume ¼ cup a day. I am also eatting almonds
and pistachios. What should my limit be. I think I am substituting
nut for sugar.

Hi! I’m new here and will be starting the diet tomorrow. I was
wondering if someone had the shopping list downloaded. If you do
please email it to me at isabellesma@….
Thanks so much!

i have purchased the main sbd book, and the good fats/good carbs
guide book. what is this about an update? any thing else that you
would recommend? i noticed the online site but i am not sure if it
is worth it if you bought the books already? what do you think? i am
not much of a cook at home so all the receipes i need are basic, i
think those on the website are too elaborate for me. any favorite
foods on the sbd?

Anyone know of a good on-line glycemic index site? I’d like
something where I can look up the GI of specific foods. Thx — M9

I am late in forwarding this and in some of my online activity. I opened up my A/C unit for my room. Had clothes to launder and then it looked like thunder coming. I feel like sleeping all afternoon. Not much weight lost that way!! Nancy

Good for you, Tanya,

It is a very pleasant plan to follow. Atkins felt like a torture chamber!! On week 2 of phase 1.
