I lost forty pounds on the South Beach Diet and have kept if off for over a year. In fact, I continue to lose weight and have just about gotten to my half way point to my ideal weight. I currently weigh 235.

The South Beach Diet is a good one because it is not really just low-carbs. Rather it is a "good-carb" diet, and it encourages low-fat meats and cheeses, and dairy.
It truely can be a 'way-of-life'.

I just started the South Beach diet about three (four?) weeks ago, after spending several futile months trying to lose weight by counting calories and exercising. I've lost ten pounds so far (fifteen to go!), and for once am not craving sweets all the time. Feel a lot more energetic and when I'm hungry, it's not a horrible shaky light-headed feeling anymore. To me, that's worth more than the weight loss.
I guess in a lot of ways it's not really low-carb in the same sense as Atkins, but it's completely changing how I look at food...and what tastes right, for that matter.
