 Common Sense and Great Recipes! March 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although I do not believe anything 100% without doing my own research, I do believe that this is a very healthy diet to follow. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "diet", because this is a plan that you could follow for the rest of your life. I did not begin the diet as specified because I did not want to diet. I wanted very healthy recipes to follow. The menus provided are right up my alley and provided a ton of nutrition. With exercise I'm sure this will maintain a goal weight or cause someone to lose a little, but that's not my personal goal. I really do enjoy the fish recipes in here and the variety-- the fact that my menu for two weeks is planned doesn't hurt either. IF you are looking for a few healthy recipes to follow, give this a try.

Some of it is good and some of it is silly. Like all diets, too much of one thing can be dangerous and self defeating.
Good diet but hard to follow February 18, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was a good book, but it was hard to follow and lose weight because I was hungry most of the time. Also, the snack foods, lowfat cheese and nuts didn't agree with me, so that left me with fewer choices. But I do know people who have lost weight on the diet, but when they go off, they gain the weight back.
South Beach vs. regular low calorie diet.....and the winner is.......... February 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a diet book whose plan is to get you to lose weight by limiting your carbohydrates- essentially another low-carbohydrate diet. It has 3 phases where your carbohydrates are severely restricted at first, and then re-introduced. I have personally read three controlled trials comparing low carb diets to your regular calorie restricted diets that were published in scientific journals. The results? Low carb diets produce more weight loss during the first 6 months, but at one year follow-up, both groups had lost THE SAME amount of weight. Therefore, it really doesn't matter which diet plan you choose, the South Beach diet or your standard low calorie diet, because if you can stay on either of them for a year, you'll lose the same amount of weight. To that end,then, the South Beach diet is a fairly healthy diet plan and a good one to choose from, but the bottom line if you want to lose weight is to cut your calories with ANY diet plan and absolutely stick with it and make it a part of your lifestyle. Readers who like this book might also be interested in The South Beach Diet Cookbook as well. Good luck!
A New Way of Eating Healthy February 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this book. It isn't the book; it is what is teaches you about a healthier way of eating. It isn't all about diet; it is about a lifestyle which will undoubtedly lead to weight loss. After a year, I still watch what I eat. Yes, I eat ice cream and all the fun things; but in a more healthier way. Do I ever go outside of what South Beach recommends; yes--but not daily. I don't think it is about imprisoning yourself but about knowledge and guidelines to a healthier eating style. I like it and it definitely has improved my eating style and my weight. The great thing is my weight hasn't increased. I highly recommend South Beach. Today, I use wisdom and incorporate the concept of South Beach into my food purchase AND WHAT I EAT. You don't have to use all the meals in the book; it is just a way to get you on the path of eating right. Consider it a guide--BE creative and just understand the methodology behind South Beach. Make Sense-be smart and EAT BETTER--EAT HEATHIER!!!
