I figured it was for appearance since "South Beach" is so appearance oriented.Originally posted by punkworld
Ever heard of things like "staying healthy" and such? A healthy diet is a big part of that.
I stick to regular excercise and eat whatever I want.Insert Sig HereComment

Apart from the initial phase, which is stupid, it's actually a very healthy, sustainable diet, which focuses on a sensible combination of protein, unsaturated fats and complex carbohydrates.Originally posted by ajpiii

The initial phase lasts only 2 weeks though. Many people get hooked on the first phase because they see fast results.
But after the first 2-4 weeks a plateau is reached, and nothing moves on.
After eating some (healthy) carbs again, the fat bruner immediately starts working again.
Just gotta be careful with the carbs thenComment

The problem with the initial phase is that I think it might be rather unhealthy.Originally posted by http

Its actually much healthier than atkins, since what you are eating is good fats.Originally posted by punkworld

The first time I did the south beach diet a few years back i lost 14llbs in 2 weeks, and havent put any of that back on. I tried it again 6 months ago though and didnt lose anything.Comment

It is - relatively - unhealthy because you miss the "ballast materials" (or whatever the english term is). Those are mostly in carb food. But I don't see it as a risk considering the short period.Originally posted by punkworld

The missing ballast materials clearly show when you take a shit. It has the consistence of cow shit, no more human "sausages". On a good note, farting goes away almost completely.
I hope this wasn't too detailed
