Opinion on the diet?
| Sat, 10-11-2003 - 12:48pm |
Hi!
I have about 20 lbs to lose and have tried many diet plans... With all of them I initially lose some weight and then i stop... I am considering starting the south beach.. and i was wondering if it was a good investment? (the book) and what u guys think about it...
I've tried atkins before and will never do that diet again because i found it too restrictive. I love fruit and veggie as well as little grain (i can be happy w/ a whole weat english muffin a day).
So basically, should i give this diet a try?
:)

Give it a try - what have you got to lose (LOL)? It is for sure a healthy way of eating.

This sounds good, and since you don't have that much to loose and are still losing i guess it's all good!!!
I'm gonna go buy the book right now!!
I'll start the diet later this week, when I'll finish my fruits and yogurt and milk though!
you guys all sound really cool too, so i'll be posting here!

I had gestational diabetes and I learned, if I ate something I wasn't supposed to, exercise was the best correction. I did an experiement: I ate what I did, tested my blood sugar 1.5 hours later (had to record after 2 hours) and it was high (which I expected). So I did 20 minutes of aerobics and it got to where it needed to be within the next half an hour. I read that exercise was a natural insulin (it lets the muscles take the sugar from the blood). So if I eat "bad", I wouldn't beat myself up over it, I'd just add 15 minutes of intese exercise to my normal routine the next day. I've lost 18 pounds of my post baby weight in the past 2.5 months. Not bad:) It's worth a shot...
Eat lots of veggies and beans...drink lots of water...exercise for at least 4-5 days...and trial and error make the best combo to success.
Good luck with whatever you decide
I too am a real carb person, but I am doing OK without bread and fruit (I am at the end of day six!) No sweets, no bread, no fruit, but I feel fine.
Good luck!
