South Beach Diet

Hi. I am too a “was WW” lol. I pleatued for a year after having
lost 80 pounds. Thats a lot of weight I know, but I am a supersized
person. Which leads me to my first question. Can a person lose more
than 150 pounds on this diet?
The reasons it has appealed to me, as an anti Atkins person, is that
I can have veggies!!!! I have tried the diet on for a meal here and
a meal there and I am stuffed and I dont feel bloated. Atkins turned
me off on his all you can eat artey clogging buffet. My brother and
father both had massive success on it though, so I know there is
something to it, but I don’t believe stuffing yourself on a dozen
eggs and a pound of bacon for breakfast is something I could deal
with. So here I am. Writing to you, SDBers.
The reason I am giving this diet that has been labeled a trend, any
chance at all, is I am 92% sure I have PSOC. I was reading an
article and wouldn’t you know I have every single symptom. It is
also linked with insulent resistance (which my father is). They
recommend a low carb diet. SBD seems to make the most sense out of
all of them to me, but I’m scared.
All I ever had success on is WW. Now I am being told I won’t be
hungry? how is that possible?
Anyhow….can really big people have success with this too?

Resending this as it doesn’t seem to have come through !

where can I get a copy of the South Beach Diet without having to pay
for it. I am unemployed and have no money to purchase it but need
to get on it asap.

Hello all! I am new to the South Beach Diet. I have read the book
and have begun trying some of the recipes. I will formally start
phase I on Friday. In October I began changing my eating habits and
started exercising. I lost 25 lbs, but have gained back 8 lbs
because I have slacked on the exercising. Losing weight is a
challenge; I begin back to work on Aug 9 and am looking forward to it
because I have more control when I am out of the house. At this time
I will start exercising in a gym and am going to see a personal
trainer once a week. Honestly, by this point I thought I would have
been a size 10, but I am a size 14/16. I know it is better than the
size 20 I was in October but I just need to get my emotions/mentality
back into the game. Any advice would be helpful in regards to
sticking to Phase I, I think that will be my biggest struggle. Thanks
for the support.

I’m getting ready to start SB, however I have one problem. I travel
quite a bit for work and was wondering if I have to follow the exact
diet as laid out in the book? Can I just eat the recommended foods
during phase 1? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
