one of my girlfriends recently came home from college and shes been on the south beach diet. let me tell you, she lost 20 lbs and she looks fabulous.

i dont know much about the diet, but from what she tells me that theres three phases with each lasting 2 weeks.

the first deals with eating lean meats, salad, and plenty of liquids. no sweets (including fruits), alcohol, or carbohydrates. in the second phase (thats the phase shes in now) you introduce your body with the carbs that you limited yourself in the first phase of the diet. and in the final third phase, you pretty much watch which foods you can eat without gaining weight.

she says the good thing about this is that without the carbs you can eat a lot of healthy foods, without feeling full. compared to the atkins diet where you eat all the protein you want, the south beach is safer because it doesnt allow for all the cholesterol that the atkins does.

but this is only from what i got from my friend. i was wondering if any of you guys are currently on a diet, south beach, atkins, or whatever and how its going for you.
