I followed. The South Beach Diet almost exactly to the phase one sample menus. I continued to eat mostly items on the phase one list and added a few from the phase two list. I am diabetic, so I test my blood sugar frequently before and after eating new additions to my diet. I have been able to keep my blood sugar levels under 140 with diet and exercise, and taking Janumet medication twice a day. I lost about eight pounds on the phase one diet the first two weeks. I have continued to be careful of what I eat, and only occasionally indulge in pizza and Mexican food from restaurants. I continue to lose weight, but more slowly, about a pound a week.
