Because I am not a member of the site it costs 29.95 for 6 weeks then 6.95 a month after that and the pages I can get to have no place to e-mail or ask questions.

Here's the info for those who may have missed it.

The South Beach Diet (SBD) continues to evolve as new nutritional studies and information come out. Recently, the results of new studies have shown that some of the "foods to avoid" may not be as bad for us as the original studies on glycemic index demonstrated. There are also some new, exciting studies about the role calcium plays in weight loss. The end result is that you can continue to enjoy all of the foods recommended for the SBD-as well as adding back in a few of your favorites! Here are the major changes:
Milk:

Old Version:
Avoid all dairy in Phase 1, except for less than 2 tablespoons fat-free ½ and ½, nonfat milk, 1 percent milk, or soy milk allowed with coffee.

New Version:
Phase 1:
Now includes low-fat milk (fat-free and 1 percent), soy milk, and yogurt (low-fat or fat-free plain or vanilla light/lite only) on the Phase 1 "foods to enjoy" list.

Phase 2:
May add light/lite fruited yogurt as a "food to enjoy" in Phase 2. Note: Since the SBD is still low in saturated fat, high-fat whole milk products will remain on the "foods to avoid" lists for all Phases.

Tomatoes:

Old Version:
Limited to one whole tomato or 10 cherry tomatoes per meal in all Phases.

New Version:
Not limited in any Phase.

Onions:

Old Version:
Limited to ½ per day in all Phases.

New Version:
Not limited in any Phase.

Carrots:

Old Version:
Avoid carrots in Phase 1 and 2; allowed in moderation in Phase 3.

New Version:
Allowed, starting in Phase 2.

I just lost 10 pounds, but not on the South Beach Diet. This is how I did it, I just eliminated all chocolate candy bars, I used to eat those every week, plus meat. At least now I can zip my jeans again. Of course I now have to substitute beans for the meat. I doubt this weight loss will last though 'cause when I go back to work, that's when I eat the most junk food. I hope I can keep those pounds off. Good luck to you on the South Beach Diet! I hope that works for you.

Forwrded the email to you!

My husband is on day 20 of the SB diet and has lost 22 pounds and 6 inches in his pants size! He is a lot more active now and feels a lot better about himself, so I imagine that, along with the diet will do wonders for him in the future. I would still like to see him loose about another 20 pounds.

He loves to eat, and he says this diet isn't bad at all, and actually doesn't even call it a diet just a "menu makeover".

Just remember with the unlimited tomatoes and carrots, do NOT buy them canned, the have lots of added sugars, which you DO NOT need on the SB diet. I have bought fresh veggies, and some frozen for the cheaper price and convience. They have no added sugars!
