Hello ladies. I am new here and am considering starting the South Beach Diet....but I am also trying for a baby. Is there any reason that I shouldn't do this diet is I could be or could become pregnant? Could it effect me chnces of getting pregant - mess with ovulation or anything? Adice would be good!

Cheers

South Beach is actually one of the healthiest diet plans you can be following. Keep in mind that it was developed by a cardiologist, and the recommendations of whole grains, lean proteins, & good fats are well backed-up by research. In fact, it's just about how any nutritionist will tell you to eat.

The only adjustment I would make is to add more fruit than what the diet (even Phase 3) allows. Maybe that's just because I'm a fruit-a-holic though. I think the only fruit allowed in phase 2 is green apples? I can't remember exactly, but I think bananas are good (even though they have lots of sugar) for you, packed full of potassium! I love SB foods, it's just hard for my family to eat that way so that's why we're off it right now. I still cook some of the recipes from time to time though... the sesame-ginger asparagus and lemon-cream sauce on salmon is delicious!
