Hey every one,

I have done some research about the various diets out there. I decided that the best one for me is the South Beach and its something that I think I can stick to for the long haul. I did Atkins with success before banding, but it wasn't something I could sustain for the long haul, and I eventually gained it all back. My cousin and her hubby are doing it (hubby is a sgt. in the army and is shipping off to Iraq in November) and I really need the structure of a diet. I'm thinking about joining the online program as well.

Are there any other South Beachers out there?

:bump2: :bump:

You mean there is no one doing south beach??

South Beach is a great plan for band patients to follow, especially those who don't have a lot of food intolerances.

Great doc, thanks for the input! I'm hoping to find a few more bandsters to join me....any one else? Any one?

I follow a low carb diet alittle bit from atkins and alittle from south beach, I just do well on this way. I do not find this hard to do. My body does well on a high protien diet. I am not a sweet eater at all, dont like pasta,, do love potatoes but stay away from them. I like meat. chicken, beef, and vegs.

I'm not doing South Beach, but definitely watching my carb intake. I KNOW that for me, eating carbs stimulate hunger for more carbs. I'd rather eat heathier whole foods.

South beach has a ton of new foods out there produced by Kraft. They have frozen meals, as well as breakfast bars and cereals. And they have these new on the go chicken wraps, plus they have 100 calorie snack packs like cookies and chips as well. They look great and it will be a lot easier for me to grab one of those for lunch and breakfast, and have the snack packs around for the munchies, then just cook a dinner in accordance with the plan. They have some great recipe books that I bought, I just got a new one with slow cooker recipes. Hopefully it will help me shed the weight. I'll keep everyone posted as to how it goes.

I actually really like the cereal bars they make. The chocolate and peanut butter.. I have one every morning at work and it's filling!

I haven't tried the cookies, but i did have the caesar chicken wrap and only ate 1 of the 2 in the box. It wasn't too bad either.

P.S.

The cereal bars have 10g of protein!

Hey thats great! I was planning on the cereal bars for breakfast and a frozen meal or the wrap for lunch. Then doing dinner at home and allowing myself 2 snack packs a day during the week. Hopefully that ought to keep me on the straight and narrow. Then on the weekends I might have regular food for breakfast and lunch for variety. (but still south beach approved meals)
