I have heard about the south beach diet years ago but never really looked into it, it does sound like it is working well for your brother.
I can honestly say I am well taken with this low carb way of living and yesterday I seemed to have been eating all day but it was all pretty healthly (for me anyway).
b: bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes (2 cherry )
l: carvery without potatoes - beef, turkey and ham with loads of cauliflower, runner beans and just afew carrots with carnberry and onion gravey (yummy):candledinner: (and it was just the 2 of us which makes a change as we have 4 kids )
d: ham salad with a spoon full of garlic mayo and lemon juice.
I can't say I am particularly in a rush to loose the last stone but I am certainly feeling very well on this diet and seem to have alot more energy.

is going all the way...
Lyn8124 hello! I'm trying to find my ideal diet at the moment, I've been on and off loads. I'm currently calorie counting (day 3) but I don't like counting and I keep my carbs low anyway (I tend not to have any wheat or refined carbs). So would you mind if I joined you on your general principles? I like the idea of low carb but not counting anything. I do need to eat carbs in the morning (generally porridge or oatcakes) because I'm very active, but feel fine without them the rest of the day.
So here's for today:
B: Oatcakes, peanut butter, banana (will make this lower carb in future, I think, by substituting banana for berries)
L: Smoked salmon salad
D: Chicken & Veg
snacks: soy latte, berries, celery & cream cheese if needed.

I kept an eye on my blood sugar level yesterday before meals and was very pleased to see my lower carb eating kept it consistant at 7.4 and 7.7 which is a lot better than it was, so perhaps there's hope for me yet!
B- strawberry exante shake
L- small pork chop, small steak, 2 cups greens
D- tomato and basil exante soup
Supper/snack- LT vanilla

Bugga...birthday binge!
Right I had 2 days of eating carbs but I am not letting it put me back to square one. I am using Exante from today til I get into ketosis and see how I go from, there my number one priority is reducing my hba1c before my next visit to diabetes clinic in July or August.
