If I were in your shoes, I’d see a dietician! Don’t waste your time with books and stuff. They may help you lose weight, but they make cause serious health problems.
I actually only did the first 2 weeks, lost 15lbs! All I did was eat 2 egss in the morn, 15 almonds for snack, chicken salad for lunch, 15 almonds snack, then chicken salad dinner. Good Luck!
Not yet ^_^
I wouldn’t go on the south beach diet. Because if you want to KEEP the weight off, you will have to committ to this diet for the remainder of your life.
Instead, try these tips:
Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals.
Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don’t let yourself sit down for too long.
And don’t eat out of boredom! It’s a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don’t have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food.
I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. And don’t let yourself stray from your plan.
And don’t “DIET”. Because the moment you go off your “diet”, you’ll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make “healthy living choices.”
And allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short!
Good luck! Hope that helps (:
