To answer you question does South Beach diet work, Yes Yes Yes!!!! But You should read the book. I do Atkins and for 30 years I tried the counting calorie way then messed my metabolism up so bad that in order to lose one pound I had to drop down to 500 calories a day for at least 4 weeks before you would see the scales move when I wasn't counting calories I was puking my food in order to either lose or not gain. I tried all sorts of diets through the years. 2 1/2 years ago my husband and I went on the Atkins but not before getting the book and reading to know how to do this right.
Guess what I found. It's not a diet but a lifestyle change that made a difference. I lost 50 pounds and my husband lost 80. We have now kept it off for over a year and a half with total ease. I never count calories (don't have to) never count carb just eat legal things, eat lovely real foods except for artifical sugar that is the only diet thing we eat.
Low carb saved my life.

Yes it does, my aunt lost 50 pounds! BUT just like any other diet, you have to stick with it and do it right. And If you dont change your habits you will gain it all back. This is the same for the Atkins diet. It is such an EASY diet but you have to do it right and change your bad habits or you will be big again in no time!

This summary details a major breakthrough in detoxifying the human body of the
carcinogens, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and overall acid conditions that
promote and cause disease.
Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000 of which are
potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual sea of pollutants, and carry many
of these toxins within us. They can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by
the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies’ umbilical-
cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and
nervous system.
In my research to develop a detoxification system for prospective mothers, I recently
learned about a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite, which has a unique, negatively
charged, crystalline structure. Zeolite is formed from the fusion of lava and ocean water,
and combines all four elements. I feel that zeolite is an alchemical gift from God. It has
been used for more than 800 years in Asia as a remedy for overall health and well-being,
and is on the FDA’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). Zeolite is available
commercially in a purified, activated form, in the zeolite product.
The results of research on zeolite are very impressive:
1. Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important treatment for cancer. In
one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants with terminal cancer (all types) are now in
complete remission for 12 months (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, 2005).
2. It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury,
cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and other toxins from the body.
These toxins are strongly correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases,
including cancers and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and dementia.
3. Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination of pesticides,
herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.
4. Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent anti-viral
and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have
reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that it may help
alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common
cold and flu.
5. Zeolite’s binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it
were used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated
local water systems.
6. Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an optimal pH level
(between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy brain function and a strong
immune system.
7. It shows promise as an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers. Recently, at
the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Zeolite was added to the protocol for the 10-day
detoxification program for prospective mothers.
In two women who just completed the program, toxins in their breast tissue dropped
significantly – from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two – over the course of seven
days.
Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to
use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnancy has not been
proven in double-blind studies.
8. According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and
happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of eliminating toxins and also,
according to preliminary research, by increasing serotonin production. One study
suggests that zeolite also helps relieve depression.
9. Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune function, and
general health.
10. Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found in
processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another positive effect
on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux.
11. Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which cause
allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms.
12. Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical activity and
damage to the body.
