No I dont have any problem with bloating. The only type I feel that way is when I overeat. That little rice might not be much, but it depends on what else you've eaten and how much. I'm 5'2 and now am around 126. I've kept off about 6 lbs. which doesn't seem like much, but on our small...

Hi Lori - I think I have good news for you. You dont have to give up your coffee. I have two cups of caffeinated coffee in the a.m., a little milk and EQUAL (no sugar). It sweetens coffee just the same. The sweets - I prefer chocolate. I have an m&m machine at my house!! And I eat a few...

Just so everyone knows, I only know what I read in the book and hear elsewhere! I think this diet will especially help people who have alot more to lose than the 10 lbs. you and I want to lose. I also have found it hard to follow this to a T after the first 10-11 days. I did see results, and...

That's a tough one - they do have a lot of cheese on this diet, cottage cheese, other cheese. The thing with these diets is they get so repetitious!! I've modified a lot of things in this diet. May not be a good idea, but I like to eat a variety of things. So, I would say yes, modify with...

I thought no fruit sounded bad too, but it's only for two weeks. Plus I found out the bananas and apples and pineapple are really full of sugar. Find a Dr. Atkins Carbohydrate guide - and it will kind of help you to see what fruits are better than others. I have put in 1/2 grapefruit in a.m...

RE: SOUTH BEACH DIET - MODIFIED? Hi. That's too bad it didn't work for you. I'm sure it won't be for everyone. My husband and I went about 10-11 days and then LIFE got in the way, and we kind of modified the diet. We were supposed to go to Phase II but we took a week off (didnt try to!!) and...

Hi. I'm checking in just to let you know that I did gain 2 lbs. back out of the 6 so far. It didn't help my husband's b-day we went out to dinner, and then I was modifying the diet even though I want to start Phase II which re-introduces some fruit, some bread items. I think I just put too...

Well, not exactly starving. Are you going by the book?? Because it tells you everything you are supposed to eat. I know one of those breakfasts said two quiche cups which was real lame. You need three, plus your v-8 juice. I usually eat breakfast at 7:30 and eat my snack at about 10ish. As...

Hi Susan. No its not a no-carb, its low-carb or a right-carb diet. My energy level is pretty good. Working out with no problem. You have to eat VERY often. Usually eggs/veggies in a.m. with like a v-8, (my husband has pure o.j. even though fruit isnt allowed). Usually you eat your snacks...

Hi everyone. This is my first time post, although I've been reading other posts for a while. I've been a Cathe-exerciser for years, can't say enough good about her fitness tapes! Okay - I have finally had success losing my last ten lbs. with the low-carb diet, believe it or not. I was not a...
