I just got my book, and i plan to start it tomorrow. My Aunt has lost like 20 lbs...so i know it works. Anyway, just curious if anyone else here is on it? I am psyched to start it!!

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding why you need this, Robyn, seriously! I've seen your pictures, and you definitely don't look like you need a diet!!!

My mom's been on it for the last 3 weeks and lost 5 lbs the first week.

I have heard that it's a pretty good diet, especially compared to Atkins. It's more balanced nutritionally. I have never tried it though. You'll have to let me know how it works for you. I'm sure I'll need it after the baby is born.

Thank you, Logan, but i have put on probably 20 lbs. since i got married, in April 1998. I was probably under weight at my wedding, so i want to lose like 15 lbs. And being that i had gestational diabetes when i was pregnant with Christian, it will be a healthy way of life for me. I don't have diabetes now, but if i watch myself, i can help to prevent it when i get older. We may want to have a second child, and i am hoping, if i go into the pregnancy being healthier, i may not even get the gestational diabetes again. Anyway, thanks for the nice compliment, though

My husband has been on South Beach for about a year now. He has lost over 50 lbs. I find it incredibly boring to be honest. It take the fun out of cooking and eating out for me.....

It is a modified version of Atkins. A healthier version, where you not only watch carbs, but the diet helps improve cholesterol...it allows good carbs, unlike atkins, which doesn't allow any carbs...
