Currently, I have been following the SBD for the last week & 1/2...and the

thing that they want you to get away from are processed foods & they do not

recommend the protein shakes & bars. I did find while food shopping this last

time that I spent much more time in the outer perimeter of the supermarket.

Although you can get along okay without the book....if it is something you

are going to do, you should get it. I have been doing it without the book (only

because it got lost in transit), but when I move into the second phase, I

will make sure I have it.

Hi everyone,

In order to assist others in my family who want to do this, I am now on the

South Beach diet. Sort of.

My son (almost 14) has a big tryout coming up for next year's statewide travel

baseball team. He wants to " play up " another year so he will be competing with

guys a year older for a spot on the team. He thinks his speed will be improved

by strengthening his " core " (abdominal muscles) and losing 10 pounds. His

trainer (I can't believe my 13-year-old has a trainer but there it is) suggested

a Functional Fitness routine - kind of like Pilates in that it uses the body for

resistance - and 2 weeks on the SB diet.

My dh has been wanting to lose 20 or 30 but needs a jump start. My 9 year old

will eat the SB way at home but gets a pass while at school. She's heavy into

her travel soccer schedule so will also need carbs on game days to keep up with

the running pack.

I read the book last night and guess what: I've been on the SB diet practically

since wls. I just didn't know it. It's 2 weeks of protein and veggies followed

by adding in low glycemic carbs. Except for my popcorn habit (lol) I'm there.

I've been telling my family for 4 years that all they had to do was eat like me,

only greater amounts, and they'd be fine. But they had to buy a 20-dollar book

and hear it from a trainer to believe it.

I'll keep you posted on how we are doing!

hugs,

Ann
