South Beach Diet update again

Mulan

I have gotten a couple of PM's wanting to know how I am doing on the diet.

Tomorrow starts week 4, and as of today I have lost 8 pounds. The last time I tried to lose weight was on Weight Watchers and it took me about 4 months to lose 8 pounds and then nothing more would come off. This diet is really working, and is very easy to me. I have no cravings and feel fantastic.

I did buy a new scale because my old digital scale didn't show tenths of pounds, so I went a week thinking I hadn't lost anything more, when I might have lost as much as .8 pounds, but my old scale wouldn't have shown it. I still wasn't discouraged because one of my sons told me that it happens that way for some people, and they do get discouraged and quit because they think it isn't working. I am too determined this time to make it work. I feel like I am always eating, and I love the food and the snacks, so am happy.

For the ladies.................I can now hook my bra on the third set of hooks instead of straining to hook the first one.

Mulan, I'm so happy that you are having success with your new diet plan. Finding a plan that works with one's metabolism is great. Sounds like you're on your way--and not feeling deprived.

I love the recipes in the SB Diet book. Especially the Surprise SB Mashed "Potatoes".

Glad it's working. How does it compare with the Atkins diet? I've tried Atkins and lost ten pounds but just couldn't stay on it and gained it all back. I need something more balanced.

My wife is on the maintenance part now, with South Beach. She leveled out where she wants to be.

I, on the otherhand, am still losing even tho I am not dieting like she did and I aint living at home. So far, I went from 240 to 210 since October. New jeans is on the to-do list.

How does it compare with the Atkins diet?

I don't know a lot about Atkins, but I've been told there are more fats allowed on Atkins, and more vegetables, salads, etc. allowed on SB. It also drastically limits all dairy products, except cheese.

Mainly you eliminate all refined carbs, including sugar. There are still many beans you can eat that give you the full feeling you get with Atkins.

That's fantastic Mulan. Did you buy the book or are you signed up with them online?
