Yeah, it is important to use a diet you like and feel comfortable using.
I chose South Beach because it was originally created as a healthy cardiac diet.
lol, it is really difficult to stay off the scales when you are dieting, especially in the beginning. Think I jumped on them a few times a day when I first started the diet.  |

Yeah, it is important to be able to stick to the diet you're on. It has to be one that you can live with.
I decided that maybe low carb isn't the way to go for me. I love carbs to much. I think that I should just eat one or two servings of carbs a day and try to mostly eat low glycemic foods instead.
That means that I can eat carbs, but they have to be good carbs like beans, brown rice, etc....no white stuff.
The funny thing is that on Sunday my husband and I went to Black Angus and I got a lean fillet mignon and for the appetizer, we shared the onion rings there. And I had a side of tater tots and coleslaw. Then later that night I had some natural light beer and vodka with zero calorie water. And I LOST three pounds on my cheat day when I was SURE I'd GAIN weight, LOL!
Wow, and I GAINED two pounds after being to hungover to keep much down a day after that! WTH? UGH!!!! I need to exercise more for sure. This is so weird!
I don't intend to have cheat day every week. I just needed carbs then. I'll stick to the good kinds 99% of the time from now on. On the low glycemic index diet, I lost and kept off 20 pounds that I lost in 3 months.
