I am new to this web board as well as new to the south beach diet. I was on atkins but platued and went off it about three months ago. I decided that all that fat was just not for me and and that this was definitely more to my liking. I am just starting phase one and am sure the weight loss will be slow.
About me I am38 a mom of two one teen girl and one pre teen boy ( thats enough to give anyone grey hairs) I work night shift in a sleep lab. I love ot work out but I overtained and hurt my back so I am back to square one. I am a book a holic and I do some drawing for stress relief.
Hi Amy! Welcome to the Beach! I'm Stephanie, I am fairly new to South Beach myself, I have just entered phase 2. I too was on Atkins and found the fat to be too much. I'm glad you are here, we have a great group of ladies here. Great support! At the top of this page and the South Beach Frequently Asked Questions page there are stickies that will give you lots of info. Good luck!
Hi amy!! I started on Atkins too and just like you, I found the fat intake to be too much for my stomach! I constantly had stomach problems on Atkins then my doctor told me she preferred SB and here I am! I love it!! Its so easy to stick with and I don't feel deprived Good Luck with your weight Loss
