South Beach, baby

So, Seth and I have been doing the South Beach Diet for the past few weeks. I've dieted on and off before, but never with any results. Last month I had my blood drawn and was told my cholesterol was ridiculously high. I tried to explain it was genetic, but she wasn't sympathetic. Around the same time, Seth's life insurance guy suggested he go on the SBD in order to get a better rate on life insurance. Ouch.

So, we both started this together. The first week was rough. Seth was in a rotten mood and I kept sneaking ice cream. But now it's actually working. We don't crave junk anymore. We've stopped eating "white" carbs and eat mainly veggies, lean meats, dairy, and some fruit. Even my pants are starting to hang on me. Yea for South Beach!!!

Danielle - as anecdotal evidence, I lost 50 pounds doing South Beach. Some of that was running too, but a lot of it was SB. It was rough sometimes, but IMO still easier to stick to than other diets. You can do it!!
