Hi, I have been on the south beach diet for awhile now and I have only lost like 11 lbs. I am only 5 feet tall and I need to lose more. I do aerobics 2-3 times a week. How much is normal during phase one? How do you keep losing?

I have been on the diet for about 2-3 months. Mostly I am still on phase one except for once in awhile I eat those SBD pizza's. My diet consists mostly of cottage cheese, low carb dannon yogurt, chicken, cheese sticks with ham, etc. I am now stuck at 133lbs.I drink coffee with low carb, sugar free creamer and diet coke. My biggest problem is that I have trouble eating breakfast. I am 5 feet tall and 25 years old. Thanks for your help.

I am not a CL but I can guess what they will say . . . you need to move on to Phase II. The reason you have stalled is that you have never moved on to Phase II, which is the weight loss phase. I stayed on Phase I too long and stalled too and then when I moved on to Phase II I lost weight. I know it sounds scary to add those foods back into your diet, but they are very good for you and they will aid in your weight loss. Also . . . the Dannon Low Carb is not recommended due to its saturated fat content. It's better to have plain or artificially sweetened.

Hope that helps! The CLs will give you more advice too!
