South Beach Diet ~ here goes!

The South Beach Diet ~ by Arthur Agatston, 2003
The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and doesn't require that you go hungry.  You'll enjoy normal size helpings of meat, fish, and poultry — and eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables.  Snacks are required.  You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes because this diet replaces "bad carbs" and "bad fats" with "good carbs" and "good fats."  Best of all, as you lose weight, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first!
Is it possible to combine the South Beach Diet with the Mediterranean Diet?  I'm ready to find out.  My cardiologist and my regular doctor both recommend the Mediterranean way of eating, and a good friend has made major changes in her life with the South Beach Diet.  I'm reading Part One ("Understanding the South Beach Diet") about losing weight and gaining life, how eating makes you hungry, and how proper diet is essential for heart health I've had a couple of heart attacks and quadruple bypass surgery.

If you've tried either of these diet plans, tell me about your experience.

It is hard dealing with the cravings in the beginning, but just keep eating the good dtuff and you will feel better for it.
