I have been doing South Beach. I am not strict about it but it has been very helpful. It is actaully a very healthy plan. I lost 27 pounds in 4 months.

That is great! Ian just added a new south beach diet section. I havent looked into it but I know it deals with good and bad carbs right?

Yes. You are supposed to eat lots of veggies. You get to have lean means, low fat cheeses, ect. Along with 1-3 servings of fruits and whole grains.

It teaches you to stay away from processed foods and foods that have added sugar.

The South beach diet sure is popular now! I may have to look it over--I read about alot of different diets--I just need to find one I can live with!

I follow it loosely.

I try to eat that way as much as I can, but if I go out and want to have a burger on a white bun I am not going to feel really bad about it. To me it is just about making healthier choices.

I agree! I have just been eating healthy smaller portions and trying to be active. I am not about to deprive myself of something and then lose all my will power and pig out! Just being aware of what a put in my mouth is a big help. Often I ate just because-not for nutrition or hunger-if it was there I ate it!

Cyn,
I am an emotional eater too.
