Hi, I'm trying to decide if I want to try South Beach. I'm normally a pretty healthy eater, but I have a problem with sweets. I'm 5'6" and 142lbs. I don't want to lose a lot of weight, maybe 7-10lbs. What do you'll think? Should I give it a try?
I think the South Beach Plan would be perfect for you. It's healthy eating and all within your controll as to what you choose to eat. With only 7-10 lbs to loose you should be close to that lose after the first phase or two. There are several things you can make to help get you through the lack of real sugar. For one you can have SF fudge bars..yum! I've found a Butterfinger Frosty Recipe on this board that is so good!Don't forget SF jello with Whipping Cream!

I'm also a sweets-lover, but the first two weeks (actually the first couple of days) help break the sweet habit. That's what I like best about South Beach -- breaking the sugar and chocolate habit. The cravings seem to disappear. It's all part of the detox effect.
