Question About South Beach

  • Hi, everyone!

    I just bought the book the other day and am still reading it.

    I have already lost about 65 pounds in the past year andI need to lose about 35 more. Most of it (if not all) is in my belly.

    Can anyone tell me if this "diet" really does work to get rid of the belly fat? That is the one place that the fat just doesn't want to budge from and it's really depressing.

    Thanks in advance for all your help!
  • Absolutely YES!

    I have lost 16 1/2 pounds and most of it was around my middle including my "butt". Had to buy new undies in a size I had never seen before. The crotch of my long pants hang because there is no longer a belly there to keep them up!

    So YES.....it will and does.

    Good luck and WELCOME

    Lady
  • oooo la la! Another Canadian girl! Welcome, Hizgal.

    Belly fat? Huh. Still waiting. Still got another 50 pounds to go...
  • So far I'm down 20 and it came from my belly & thighs
  • Well, when I lost my first 14 lbs (which was on Atkins, actually, but I'm eating a lot of the same stuff on SBD) my dad so tactfully told me, "I think 10 of it came from your ***!" Then I lost another 4.5 on the SBD, and my loving father then told me, "Hey, your legs don't look so fat anymore!" LOL. But seriously, my DH says he can definitely tell that my belly is getting smaller and it's going away.
