Hi,

I am going to South Beach after only losing 1 lb. from a month on 20 grams of carbs. So frustrated! Anyway, I have never done SB, so I was wondering which do most find easier or more enjoyable- getting the higher fat while on other lower carb plans or getting more carbs on SB?

I have done the Atkins diet both the way most people perceive it (very restricted carbs of all types) and the way he defined it in interviews during his later years (pretty much unlimited green veggies, somewhat following similar principles of the SBD, although still with some critical differences). Both ways were successful for me, except that I ultimately didn't stick to it in the long run. I find the SBD to be much more of a lifestyle that I can follow now and the rest of my life. In my mind, there is nothing here I cannot do forever, which means this is something that will be successful for me for the rest of my life.

That was the answer I was hoping for. SB seems to be easier long term and I am collecting recipes to start my SB journey.

Thanks
