I'm receiving conflicting info on how to go about losing fat off my pear figure (diet wise). I store more fat that needed on my thighs, butt and hips.
I tried the South Beach diet for 6 months now, I was only able to lose 12 lbs but my weight no matter how much I diet or how HARD I excercise my body will not let me lose beyond that amount.... I don't think I reached my plateau, I'm only 23!!!! Some say its b/c I wasn't too overweight to start with (went from 135 lbs to 123 lbs ... but i'm 5'2")
OK: People are telling me since South Beach after Phase I is a diet generally w/more fat grams and less carbs and less sugar (South Beach allows butter, peanut butter, etc.) that this is not the diet for a pear shape- because pear shapes must eat a LOW FAT diet to lose in those areas. But all "low fat" foods I find are high in starch, carbs, and sugar- and those are things that make you gain weight too-- I know in my case they did.
What's right????
