yep, I basically did an extended induction with Atkins for 3-4 months. Then I started adding in whole grains, wheat and some fruit for the last month or so.
I never did the add 5 carbs a week. I am going to *try* and do that when I get to my last 10 pounds. But I basically know what I can eat and how much. If I go off plan for a day or so, I just hunker down the following day, kwim?
I have never been one to totally grab the mindset that you can't ever have *bad stuff* again. I ate mashed potatoes and had some pie at Thanksgiving and it didn't do anything. Now for Christmas, I took off for a week. LOL
I also didn't hit my kickboxing class just about the whole month of December either.

<nods> We did the same to South Beach.  I discovered that the breads didn't affect me when eaten in moderation.  So I don't worry about them at all anymore.
 
I've maintained the same weight for about 4 months now without gaining it back, and not being really on the diet.  I've been "swimming" more than "on the beach".  In the next few weeks I am going to get back serious and try to find time to exercise so I can go ahead down to where I want to be.

Not as quickly.  Like I said, it's a similar diet.

Charles, actually Atkins adds back in the good carbs too.

It's similar to Atkins, with modifications.  The premise is the same.  High
proteins, low carbs.  The difference is that South Beach distinguishes
between "bad" and "good" carbs.  For example, bread is allowed but only
multi or whole grain.  No white food...it's a racist diet. 

There are other minor differences, but I think they are negligible.  It was
a diet designed by a cardiologist for his heart patients and he realized
that a side benefit was they were losing weight.

The good thing about the diet is that if you "cheat" your whole program
isn't ruined.  You just pick up where you left off.

You and Beth are on the South Beach Diet right? I think you said that you
both have done terrific. Tell me about that one. I have been working with
the Adkins one here..and I am not doing all that well on it.
