  • She probably meant carb restrictive in the sense that during the first 2 weeks potatoes, corn, bread, rice, etc. aren't permitted.

  • South Beach Diet IS a lifestyle change. Just because the name contains the word "diet" doesn't make it bad. A small bit of research on your part (and a lot less assumption) would've made that clear.

  • Not sure what you're eating , but it sounds like you need to cut out the starches.....no breads, potatoes, rice, corn, etc. Focus on eating more veggies.
