South Beach Diet

Hello Everyone-
I have a question about the south beach diet. I’m just in the first
phase of the diet and still figuring it out. I know caffeine is not
allowed. But does anyone know if drinking “caffeine free diet coke”
is
ok?? There’s no sugar and no caffeine. God, I never realized how
addicted I am to caffeine…what a headache, hehe.
Does anyone else have suggestions for drink choices? I’ve made
herbal iced tea, glasses of water with lemon. Just nothing seems to
quench my thirst like the diet soda.
Also, are pickles and olives ok within the diet? Craving those too!
Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sand

I went on Atkins, and went from 258 to 209 working at it all last year.
I thought I had it made! Wrong! I was hungry most of the time and felt
like I was lacking something. When I got to the weight I wanted to be
at I started my old eating habits and now am back to 260. More than I
started out at. I joined today as I have to get back with it. I hope to
learn from all of you a better solution than Atkins. I do need some
support right now as I feel like a total fat flop for letting myself
have a run away at the table. A friend of mine suggested I try this as
it worked for her and is still doing fine. I blamed my failer on the
fact that I finaly quit smoking a couple months ago, but I just need
the drive and learn from you folks. Thanks for listening.

I am just starting SBD and am wondering how long it takes for the
headaches to leave and to feel energetic and not crave the carbs? I’m
in the 2 week initial jump start phase and would like to see light at
the end of the tunnel as far as the withdrawal. Can anyone tell me
how long is average?
