It's the refined sugars and starches that cause the cravings. South Beach helps you break that craving and the diet makes life much easier. No more feeling hungry when you're full.
It's soooo nice to finish a meal and feel completely satisfied!
And I like to cook...so using less processed foods has been a lot of fun. I haven't been doing this for long...but I sincerely believe I COULD stick with this way of life for good, and hopefully will.
