I have been diagnosed by my Dr. as having Lymes disease. A blood test has shown this. I have been sick for over 20 yrs. with numbness, etc. The Dr. said low carb diet is best to be on. Is South Beach diet a low carb diet?
Thanks; of course if any or you have had Lymes Desease I would love to hear your story.

To answer your question, no, South Beach is NOT a low carb diet. If low carb is what you're looking for, try Atkins. There's a board on this site that has more information on that. Or do a Google search.

Good luck to you on whatever you decide to do.

There's a great diet for healing on healingnaturallybybee. It is low carb. It's amazing the success that people have had following her diet. I'm going to start it in September when I'll be off work for a week.

Hi MarthaJeanne,

No, South Beach is not a low carb diet. Atkins is a low carb plan. I've been on Atkins 5+ years and although I am not an expert, I would be more than happy to help answer any questions you may have regarding the plan.

All the best to you!
