Great

I continue to refer back to this book for recipe ideas. I have done this diet a number of times to lose weight, and always keep the idea of the diet in mind when eating.

South Beach Ball

Well written and makes sense. It's true about loosing the belly fat first. I actually started seeing my belly get smaller after about 5 days. It's an education on weight loss for anyone to easily understand.

This works.

My husband and I are six days into this program. You can eat as much as you need of the appropriate foods! I have lost 8 pounds and he has lost 13 pounds. That kind of weight loss is motivating and that is the key-- motivation. I don't know if I can continue to give up items that I have long considered the best part of the meal. Can we choose to be slim and healthy on this program or will we return to our previous habits and fight obesity and health issues? That is the question.

Jury is out!

I need to lose weight, tried Atkins, ended up with high cholesterol. I also missed fruit...a lot. This one was recommended by several people who share the same health problems. This one makes sense to me. I'm not sure I buy all the claims as gospel, but it seems logical. Almost through the first 2 weeks and so far so good...

Not good if you're hypoglycemic

I learned a lot about nutrition from this book, and have some really great snack options now, like low-fat cheese sticks and sugar-free jello cups. But I'm hypoglycemic and this diet unfortunately didn't work for me. By day 4 I was increasingly lightheaded and nauseous. I fell asleep at my desk on day 3 and day 4, something I NEVER do. The diet is designed to let your body normalize it's own sugar levels once you start eating the low-carb meal plans. But if you're hypoglycemic or tend towards having low blood sugar, this will probably not be the diet for you. Without eating any sugar (no carbs including fruit, juice, bread, pasta, etc. for the first 2 weeks) my body wasn't able to keep my blood sugar up. It's unfortunate, because it's a fun diet to try!
