So I'm loosely following the South Beach phase 2 diet. My husband has lost a ton of weight by eating everything except breads, crackers, chips, potatoes, sweets, and sodas. He eats a lot and the food he chooses always looks great. He will eat pizza once per week- but that's the only time he cheats. I started him eating this way, but I gave up after a couple of weeks. I've seen the weight drop off of him oer the last year (he never exercised- only changed his diet) and I'm totally jealous. Now I'm going to stick with it. I'm allowing myself a pizza day and a sweets cheat day to ease in to this new way of eating. I am walking (the dog) every morning for at least 30 minutes, so I think that should help the pounds come off as well. I'm not going to record every meal right now, because I've done that in the past and though it worked, I couldn't stick with it.
