South Beach Diet Tips?

nightcrew17 Posts: 3 Joined: 2001/11/08	2004/02/16, 07:38 PM Hello everybody, I am trying to start a new workout, and my goal is to lose about 25 lbs by May. I have heard good things about the South Beach Diet, and my family bought me the book for Xmas. Has anybody out there tried this thing?? Any tips for a new guy like me? Also, how much should I expect to lose, and will that be accelerated by cardio and lifting weights? Thanks for all your help.

Combined with weight lifting 3 days a week and cardio 3 days a week I have lost 31 lbs. Went from 192 to 161 lbs. Feel great and would recommend it to anyone. The food was not as bad as I thought it would be. The meals are pretty good. I stayed on phase one for 3 weeks, I currently on my 4th week of phase 2. I am pretty much ready to start phase three, and work on maintaining my current weight. Good luck...... Michael -------------- Michael
