South Beach Diet

Hi Everyone, Is there anyone that could give me the basics regarding following the South Beach Diet? Is it basically like the atkins diet with no carbs? Any info would be appreciated to help me lose weight before the surgery (not that I've gotten a date yet)

Delicia, Its like the Atkins except for the fats the first two weeks is no carbs..then you can take in some carbs gradually. I suggest you pick up a copy of the book...I joined online last year it was five bucks a month. I am sure you can get a used copy of the book on Amazon for cheap. It worked for me..and I never knew anything about carbs before being on that diet..so it taught me alot in how I need to eat post op. Good Luck! Joanie

Hey Delicia, If you want I can share my ebook with you. Before I met with Elina the dietician I bought the online book from ebay. I do not think it is detailed as the real book but it does have meals and things like that. I can just email it to you if you want or anyone else that needs it.
