The fresher the vegetables the better,(not cooked) or at least not cooked all the way. They make your body work harder to digest ,witch in turn causes you to loose weight. Most of the carbs you eat are pretty much pre digested so your body doesent have to work so it stores them for energy for later (fat) that most of the time never gets burned off. My mother cant exercise becouse she has emphisima and asma please excuse the spelling.lol!.So I bet that if you added exercise to this diet the pounds would just melt away!! I hope this helps. Ps. you can get the South Beach book at wal-mart the small version for like $6.97. |
I also went on the South Beach diet more than a year ago. In the first 3 months, I lost 30 pounds. I've kept it off for a year realizing that it's a healthy way of eating. Definitely good idea to get the book. BTW, I didn't do much exercising and still lost the weight.
