I have started the South Beach diet recently, and I am really enjoying it! I have lost about 2 pounds a week, and sometimes I forget that I’m on a diet! The best part is that there is NO calorie counting or strict portion control.
Basically the diet is to eat only whole grains, fruits and vegetables and lean protein and dairy.
The first two weeks are called phase 1- where you are not supposed to eat any carbs or fruits. The point is to jumpstart your weight loss. During this stage I lost over 10 pounds!
This diet is great for those who hate counting calories, and also hate being hungry! Most days I am not hungry at all! Go South Beach!
