Just started South Beach (newbie)
Hi everyone,
I am new and just started the South Beach Diet. I have pre-diabetes
and want to do something about it before I turn 40. My weight is at
an all time high after losing 30 pounds last year on Atkins. I
enjoyed doing Atkins but once I ate a “carb”, the diet fell apart.
I like what I have read about South Beach and am impressed that I
can eventually add in whole grain products in moderation. When I
did Atkins, my blood cholesterol levels got much closer to normal
and I really felt good but you have to wonder with the high fat
content allowed on Atkins if you are doing long term damage to the
heart. I had gallbladder problems at the time so I actually stayed
more low fat on Atkins which is a big no-no. I am here to learn
more about the diet and hopefully get and share support. I have
about 40 pounds to lose.
