  There have been tons of people successful on the body for life diet. I know you will be too 
 
  
Btw..why doesn't everyone just try simply eating healthy? Having a balanced meal instead of completely cutting out one of something. I don't mean to preach but the Atkins diet is horrible for you. I mean, do you really think it's healthy to lose weight by being able to eat bacon and sausage? And like everyone says, South Beach is too expensive and I bet Nutrisystem is too. I hired an online trainer and he laid out my meal schedule. All of them are balanced meals consisting of whole protein, complex carb, and fruit or whole protein, healthy fats, and cooked veggies. I find it much easier to do since I can still have certain carbs such as oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat tortillas, etc. I just really don't like to hear it when someone's doing the Atkins...Yes you're losing weight but not in a healthy way.
