Yes, South Beach is a great weight loss diet!

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.
On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.
Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Yes. It can be effective. The weight loss won't be dramatic, but it will be effective, and a healtier way to drop some weight. The difficult part will be maintaining the new weight. The South Beach diet is not meant to be a permanent one. You'll have to change your eating habits, or excercise routine permanently to keep the weight off.

yes, I lost 20 pounds on this diet and found a new way of eating. It's hard to begin with if you're a sugar-freak like me, but it's worth is for the healthier lifestyle. You have to CHANGE you whole lifestyle and way of thinking.
