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.
Every diet is not for everyone. It's important to find the one that is right for you and the one you can stick to. My husband loves this diet, he loves meat. He is now as healthy as he was the day I married him. He doesn't take 9 pills a day anymore and his cholesteral is almost back to normal, down from a range that was too high to even be calculated by the lab. I will do this diet to reach my goal and then maintain the weightloss with a way of eating that is more comfortable for me.
