So, after much though and consideration, I have decided to move forth with the lifestyle change that is the South Beach. I have had many friends who have had success with it.

Is there anyone else who has found success with this--long term success?

I could really use major encouragement with this as my biggest fight will be with carbs. Sugar not so much.

Thanks ladies.

I've read it and some of the recipes interest me since I like low GI, but I have not pursued it as written.

GL with it though!

I've been following a modified version of SBD for six months now, and I have lost 43 pounds. It is sustainable for me, definitely. I have weeks where I eat more carbs than other weeks, but the core of the program keeps me on track.
