Keith, dude, glad it saved your life. However, who are you addressing this comment to? You quote me and then say to “consider the source”?

South Beach works great for myself, my family and everyone I know and it has been 3 years now. When reading comments such as “suck ass”, consider the source. Please do some solid homework. Phase 1 is a bit different I have to admit but when one has been eating so unhealthy for so long, the first phase is a bit different. If you go into it with with a bad attitude, you will most likely fail. It saved my life and when it came down to that, 2 weeks is nothing.

Hi Lulu, yes it does get better — at least it did for me. I started out lethargic, headachy, and cranky — now I’m just cranky ;) Hang in there!

I just started the South of Hades diet as well, and I am hating every second of it. Woke up on day 2 and felt like I’d been attacked as I slept by large men with hammers. Fatigue, headaches, nausea, blah blah blah. At least I’m not the only one. I fear my man might leave me if I don’t curb the crankiness, pronto. Please tell me it gets better…and that I’ll actually lose some weight. On day 4 and the scale still reads the same as it did before the nightmare began.

Yeah, the induction sucks big time. I had great success with it last January but have since slid back (read: approaching 8th month pregnancy weight). Must address that. As I sit here wolfing down mac & cheese. I like many of George Stella’s recipes.

Induction is a bitch,but it works. I’m restarting again as well.

Good luck!

I tried South Beach a few years back, but just couldn’t stick with it. I have no willpower. I love bread way too much! Oh, and phase 1 sucked for me, because I don’t really like eggs! What else is there in phase 1???!!! Nothing, just eggs.

Anyway, good luck to you on sticking it out.

We are back on our diet as of yesterday. It is a low cholesterol diet for hubby, and I benefit from it by losing weight.

We are heading to California this summer, and I need to get in shape as well! Agh!

Abi, those are great sites. Thanks for the pointers! I don’t usually eat micro-meals, but if I start I’ll contact you. Thanks for the offer.

she, screw you and everyone who looks like you ;)

Flo, I’d chew off my hands if I tried the pure calorie-restriction kind of diet. I admire your reserve!

I’m not doing South Beach, but I AM doing like 1200-1500 calories a day. So I’m allowed to eat a handful of spinach, 3 pieces of pasta, and 2 sunflower seeds. And that’s about it.
