Sally Dunno. I've no experience with SB, but from reading the posts here, it seems as if SB is higher carb much sooner (beans, whole grains etc) and lower fat, especially saturated fat. But higher and lower are both relative to Atkins, not the mainstream diet. Quite a few have done well on it. -- revek "I think you bent the needle on my irony meter.

Atkins and Southbeach
You can get some info at www.southbeachdiet.com but it is a pay site, so you
can only get a little info, for free. HTH! Michelle in Gander "The Kings" wrote in message news:zgMKb.7746$JQ1.4423@pd7tw1no... Hi! I am familiar and have been successful on Atkins(a 80 pound loss) What is the south beach diets different attributes and who's having success with what? Sally |

Sb is more strict about saturated fat and emphasizes the lower glycemic index carbs (more lenient on carb intake) -the "good" vs "bad" carbs. Weight loss is not as dramatic w. SB as Atkins. I have a couple of colleagues doing well with SB. frank |

Atkins and Southbeach
I don't know about the weight loss not being as dramatic on SB. I have just
finished 6 days on SB and have lost 9 lbs! Know this will not continue, but when I first did Atkins induction I didn't lose this much this fast. As a matter of fact I switched to SB after being mostly off Atkins over the holidays. Before the holidays was at a real stall with Atkins. This has gotten me moving again.
