I'm hoping that once the 6 week period is over I will keep doing things like eating fruit for breakfast and huge salads for lunch. jl, you're so right about processed stuff being so convenient. It's always so tempting to just fall back on something quick and easy after a long day at work... TB I think chocolate would be disqualified given the high amounts of sugar and fat it contains ;) I actually don't tend to crave sweet things - choccie and cake and pastries are never my first choice. I prefer the salty snacks like chips and other trans fat laden things... Penny, do you maintain any of the habits/principles of the South Beach diet?

That too much dairy will make you phlegmy and mucus-filled (and if you're really unlucky, maybe even give you respiratory and/or skin disorders). Meat may be nice for the tastebuds but we don't have the gut, literally, for processing it. We don't need all those carbos. Etc etc. It's just so much easier in this modern day and age to eat convenience processed foods, rather than spend time thinking about and preparing our salads and vegetables. I'm glad the diet is working for you, that you're feeling healthier and better inside. :) Eat to Live makes sense, and i think most of us know the basics anyway, that too much processed food is not good or helpful to the body.

I think I would miss the dairy stuff though. I did the South Beach diet last year which was quite good to kick start some weight loss in me. The hardest meal to do was breakfast because of the low carbs... somehow I really wanted them for brekkie. Once the 2 week stage 1 phase was over I was able to have porridge which was much better.
