The Low Carb diet is not really good for you.  If you want to loose weight you got to start by having a balanced high water content diet.  That means more vegi and fruit, a lot less refined carb and high fat food.  Your health demand that you have balanced foot intake and moderate exercises.

First change what you eat! A good diet plan is the South Beach Diet. Then start to exersize! Start with little things first like walking. Then build from that. Good Luck!!\nIf you have anyother questions just ask me!!

South Beach Diet! I started it 4 weeks ago. They say in the first 2 weeks you loose 8-13 lbs. I lost 5 or 6 in the first week. In two weeks I lost 9. Now I am losing 1 to 2 lbs per week and inches too. Its not a low carb diet like atkins. I am a huge carb and sweets lover but I have no cravings for those bad carbs now. I love this diet and can do it easy for the rest of my life. Theres lots of things you can do, such as pills and when you stop you regain the weight. With south beach you keep the weight off.\n\nPhase 1 is basically a low carb diet. After that you slowly add in good carbs. Here is the food list for phase 1:\nhttp://southbeachdietguide.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4460\nit may look like you can't do it, but it really is painless by the 2nd or 3rd day. This is not just another fad diet. This is a very healthy diet. Doctors recommend it for a healthy heart. \n\nAfter phase 1 you also add in fruit slowly. Its also okay to be bad once in a while like thanksgiving for example. You can feast with everyone else! Then get back on track. If you gain weight just go back to phase 1 for a week or two.\n\nYou don't need to buy the book. Just research th diet online. There are many resources and receipies. Good luck with whatever you do.

I have read the book. It's very informative. Alot of what he talks about relating to what you eat is confirmed in a book by Jordan Ruben called The Makers Diet.

South Beach Diet is very similar to Atkins diet in a way, at least in the two fist weeks. It consists of three phases of which the first one last about two or three weeks. During that period you can eat only meat of any kind, some sorts of dairy (high fat cheeses) and lots of vegetables. Second phase is the phase where you'll reintroduce whole wheat breads, healthy cereal and some fruits. The third phase is the phase that is intended to last forever in order to maintain good health and to keep the excess weight off.

According to Arthur Agaston, M.D. (the guy that created the diet) in his book "The South Beach Diet: Good Fats, Good Carbs Guide":\n\n"Brewed tea, herbal" is listed as "a", where:\n\na=allowed\nA=Avoid\nL=Limited\nV=Very Limited\nG=Good\n\nSo, yes, green tea is ALLOWED, but you're only supposed to have 1 cup a day.

best answer:  excersise often and cut your calories back (100 calories a day cutback should be enough to get your body fat down)..\n\nthe answer you want to hear: the south beach diet is fairly healthy and I lost 27Lbs in 2 months.. atkins focuses too much on fat and it's no good.. the mediteraean diet is good too, but I don't know that much about it.. go with South Beach.

I don’t follow the diet, but I hope you don’t mind I provide an answer anyway.\n\nIf you don’t get answers that help answer your question, I hope my suggestion will help you in some way.\n\nThe internet is full of all kinds of forums. Some are very general like this one and others very specific.\n\nI did a Yahoo search for South Beach Diet support forum. I came up with a lot of results. \nYou can, also go here: http://groups.yahoo.com/\n\nPut South Beach Diet support in the search box\n\nThere are lots of groups to choose from there, too. \n\nYou may find a South Beach Diet community you will enjoy being a part of.\n\nThat, of course, does not mean I want you to leave. Stay and enjoy the site. This is just another option :)

One way to judge a diet's popularity is to see how the book sales rank on Amazon.com. You can check out the latest Amazon best-seller inforrmation at \nhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/new-for-you/top-sellers/-/books/all/\n\nHowever, book sales numbers don't mean much, because diets go through fad cycles. An author will sell a zillion copies of his book one month, and then another diet will be the rage the next month. South Beach has gone through that same cycle, and it's not as popular now as it was when it first came out.\n\nIt got a big publicity boost in 2004, when ex-President Clinton lost about 30 pounds on the South Beach Diet. Then it lost some of its appeal a few weeks later when he had to have heart surgery. Some nutritionists think South Beach is healthy.\n\nMake up your own mind after reading some internet forum discussions about the SBD. Check out these search results from a health forums search engine:\nhttp://dnoneoftheabove.com/?cx=002486926153363561559%3Ayblv8b6jj6c&q=%22south+beach+diet%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n.

I think South Beach because Atkins is too restrictive on all carbs.  I don't think it's safe to eliminate and entire group like that.  South Beach focuses on good vs. bad carbs and only eliminates the bad ones.

It just takes will power to loose weight. Pills are bad for you. They cause your heart rate to go up and some contain ingredients that can kill you. Try either the South Beach Diet or another one drink lots of water and no pop. If you want to snack eat raw celery and carrots. Good luck and stay away from the pills.

Make you hungry and desperate fro something decent to eat!!!\n\nSeriously though, it is a meal replacement system.  It contains all the minerals, vitamins and essential elements you need to survive but puts them in a low calorie "shake" (or soup, or bar...).  All it does is reduce the calories you take in over the day.  Personally Id rather eat a sensible low cal diet of real food!
