Hi Nancy_nrm

How much weight have you managed to lose with the CSD, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi nancy_mrn...I plan on doing CSD for the seven days...then the 3DD...then SB...then start all over again with this rotation....which would be a 17 day deal.  I was just wondering how you like the SB diet?   I imagine it is a nice break with alot of variety in a different way...things we can't have on the CSD or the 3DD.  I do like my meat...and as I understand it...you are really not into meat...but I like the idea of meat everyday and an egg once in awhile...........I have the South Beach Diet book, but never used it...it's been laying around for years!

Hi nancy_mrn...slow weight losses tend to stay off a lot better then fast weight loss....plus....the body adjusts to it, and skin tone is better....if a person loses too fast...ya get a flabby body!...I noticed the no fruit on phase 1 too...oh well...still in all...more daily variety...eggs...cheese...meat protein...beans...lentils...and peanut butter.............sounds good to me!

No rice, bread or pasta! ....oh well, can't have everything.....but I'll take the omelets, a little cheese and the MEAT......I would imagine it is easier to feed your family when you are on the SB...sinse there is more variety and all can eat the same meal............

Yey....I think it might be a bit much to lose 22# by then....but you'll probably lose at least  another 11# and that would be a total of 22#...maybe 25# in all....and that ain't bad!

Yes...I too am less concerned with numbers ....I'm more concerned how the clothes fit and that the sizes don't get bigger.  You know...as we get older, I'm not sure it's realistic to think that we will be slim and trim like we were at 23 or even 30 yrs old.....even pleasingly plump is really OK with me...I just want to be healthy and not all bloated up as one gets when #'s are gained, or one carrys too much extra baggage....one thing this diet does is unbloat the body and that's what makes ya feel good! 

Hello matiz...and WELCOME ... haven't looked up the SB website yet...but I have the South Beach Diet book...and everything's explained in the book.  I believe if you just went on the internet and looked up SB or South Beach Diet you would come up with what your looking for.  Actually...since we have my husband's High School Reunion coming up on Sept 29th....I have decided to do the 3 day diet (3DD) after this one...then go back to the CSD...then 3DD...then...CSD and so forth up to the reunion.  Afterwards I will do a rotation of CSD...3DD...SB  for some time...which would repeat every  17 days.  I am on day 6 now...so I will start 3DD on Wed, the12th.....if anyone's interested...on info on the  (3DD),  here is a link which explains it..........http:/www.everydiet.org/3_day_diet.htm........I must repeat myself again, by saying that the cabbage soup diet alone is not a long term diet...do healthy eating in between and then come back to it.  I'm even pushing it by doing it along with the 3DD for the almost  3 weeks until the reunion....but I MUST fit into the outfit I am planning to wear!

Congrats to all of those that are still on csd!  Brook you have a lot of determination --good for you

matiz, you can do it..it is only 7 days

the hard part for me is giving up my wine with meals I am on my second week of sb and I have to say I have had wine on the weekends but I am still losing weight at a slow rate which is fine.  my size 12's are getting lose and I can even get into a pair of 10 jeans.

so keep at it

Hi Alone, day 4 is supose to be banana day and soup but since I can not do dairy I would just repeat day 3 and I did fine.  Use your good judgement and you should not have any probems

Hey Alone in the diet zone.

Where in Norway are you from?

I love bananas, but am not to sure myself about all the milk. I generally don't drink milk at all. Have you tried perhaps leaving the chai tea out and just doing milk, bananas, ice and some vanilla? That should work too.

Hey Huskey,  I gotta try with out the tea.  I'm in Førde.  Its a little town on the west side.  Where r u from?  I guess we are in the same time zone.  Which helps to post the threads.  bit about my self.   going to be 29 in Nov.  weight 68kg and wants to be 58kg. I'm married, 3 children ages 6, 4, and 7mths.  and staying at home.  Tell me bit about ur self as well

I am from South Africa, Johannesburg. My best friend dated a girl from Tromso for a bit. I'm 21 and have been overweight nearly all my life. My best friend pushed me into enterting this "Summer Body Comp." which ends on the 2nd of November. This is my fourth week on it and I have now dropped about 9 k.gs. From the first week I went on the three day diet (3DD) which was okay, but wasn't too what I thought it was, so I have moved onto the CSD. I am now sitting on 65.3 k.g.s and my goal weight is 56k.gs or near about there. When I was eighteen, I peaked my highest weight This will now be my third year of on and off dieting to lose the weight. I managed to drop a lot but then had a motorcycle accident and put the majority back on I want to see what my body looks like when I get down there and as I have never been thin before it is going to be a rather interesting expierence.

We are currently on the same times, until that daylight saving thing comes back. You will then be an hour behind me.
