Rechyl, I bet there is tiny little print somewhere on that email stating "results not typical" or something to that effect. Like Ruthxxx stated, there is a measurable amount of weight lost for people that are beginning the diet after having too much processed foods - like white flour, white sugar, white rice and not consuming enough fresh whole foods like lean meat, low starch/carb vegetables and fruits. The first phase of South Beach is about 2 weeks of eliminating all these plus fruits while your body loses it's cravings for these type of things. If you can eliminate breads/grains, sugar, starchy vegetables, and fruits from your diet for 2 weeks on your own, you will probably see a nice drop. On South Beach after the first phase you slowly start adding back in healthy options for grains, veggies and fruits, usually a week at a time. I have been on this way of eating a few times, but this time, I will not go back to the unhealthy habits that caused me to re-gain like I did the past attempts. This attempt I only lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks, but I was still happy about that!
