I just started the South Beach Diet and have been doing pretty well so far. Just wondering if Diet coke is allowed on the diet (especially the first 2 weeks). I read the whole book and didn't see it mentioned.

Yes, Diet Coke is allowed, but it must be caffeine-free. Tea and Coffee are allowed also, but also must be caffeine free. I'm on my fourth day of South Beach Diet and lost five pounds so far.

Actually, I don't think diet coke is allowed in the first two weeks. I am in Phase II currently but, I remember Phase I is only supposed to be water, tea, or coffee(preferably caffeine free).

I've been on this diet for a little over 7 weeks and lost 15lbs!!! My friend read a write up on this diet in a popular health and fitness mag that said the first two weeks aren't the healthiest but, after that (Phase II and III) is just good healthy eating!!

Keep it up! The lbs just fall off!!

Actually, I have to make myself eat certain things that are now allowed in Phase II because I just didn't crave them any more!!

Hi,

I am a "newbie" and enjoy reading everyone’s posts.

I am 25, female, 120 lbs. and 5'3, I am very fit and work out everyday (and have for about 3 years) but still could lose some fat %'s. Do you think this diet could work for me?

I know that some diets allow you to lose weight quickly but only if you have enough to shed quickly and they never seem to help you lose the last ten pounds.

I don’t really know what it entails but I will do anything to lose the fat! Is it a program like Jenny Craig, or is it something you can do from home like Atkins?

And input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and keep up the good work (o:
