I'll be doing the South Beach Diet on July 12th. Here is a list of foods that are allowed, followed by a list of no, no's for phases 1 & 2:
http://content.everydayhealth.com/sb...Eat-Member.pdf Summary: Phase 1 is pretty restrictive. You are not supposed to skip meals, and are encouraged to have 2 snacks a day. They say the cravings for bad carbs are supposed to lessen after the first couple of days (lol). A lot of people lose several pounds in the first phase alone, which should only last about 2 weeks. More foods, like fruit, are added back in phase 2, which should last as long as you want to continue to lose weight. Phase 3 adds more foods (mostly your choice) back, but is supposed to be a lifestyle change with an emphasis on good carbs and moderation. I feel like the food list is really the road map because the diet isn't really structured, but I can post other information if you have questions, or if I run across more details I feel may be helpful. I just hope I don't blow up like a balloon before I start the diet because I'm eating all the crap I can now while I still can lol. |
