Have any of you experienced weight gain on the South Beach diet?

Yazar: admin March 9, 2010

A lady I work with has been following the South Beach diet plan to the letter for almost 3 weeks now. During phase 1 she lost just under 15 pounds. On the 1rst of this month she progressed to phase 2. She is still following it to the letter and is not eating bread everyday, only 1 slice every other day. She is eating low/no fat foods. She is also exercising everyday. She is concerned because since she switched phases she has gained 2 pounds. How worried should she be?

Not very concerned at all. Weight fluctuates from day to day and week to week. A person can definitely gain two pounds of pure water weight in one week if they eat a lot of salty foods. Otherwise it sounds like she is doing really well, and tell her to stick to it. Everyone has little set backs, but what matters is that you don’t let them get the best of you.
