I am obese and finally, finally am ready to lose this weight of about 50 lbs.
I have researched many diets and know in my heart that no way can I count points, carbs, fat grams, or even calories all day long.
I like that South Beach is simple and has no counting. It's almost too good to be true.
For those who have lost weight and been successful on South Beach, is it true that you do not need to measure your food except for oils, dairy and nuts on Phase 1? I know on Phase 2 you add in fruit and good carbs in limited amounts (I bought South Beach Supercharged), but it almost seems too good to be true.
Are you really losing weight eating this way? I am a volume eater so this concerns me. I thought I would get some feedback from those who are doing it and losing.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but this plan DOES seems too good to be true. Honest feedback would be so appreciated. I saw this forum and almost tripped over myself signing up and logging in to post this! Thanks.
