Hi Deanna, welcome to the group! I saw your question about the South Beach Diet, and Penny really gave you the best explanation of it. The only thing I would add is that if you choose to follow the meal plans in the book, you better have a HUGE grocery budget! If you plan to just use the approved foods list, you can do a little better, but you'll sacrifice variety for budget. I had been using the south beach plan, and was seeing some success, but it was just too expensive, our grocery budget didn't stretch far enough to accomodate it. ( This was with both hubby and I eating the same foods, no short order cooking in this house! lol)

Good luck with whatever you choose. I have found the motivation here alone has been enough to help me make the choices I know are right for my body, this is a great group.
