I have tried the South Beach diet in addition to Adkins and Sugar Busters diets. I found S. Beach and Adkins to be way too restrictive and borderline dangerous for the long term. I really like the Sugar Busters diet and would strongly recommend it. Obviously you have to make it a way of life. The basis of the diet is eating nothing with added sugar or refined flour. You can eat most fruits(excluding watermelon, raisins, and a few others) and all veggies except white potatoes. You may have no flour except whole grain(not whole wheat)flour in moderation. It's a lot easier for me to follow than the other diets. You can actually have fruit and veggies from day one. They also encourage you have lean meats and low fat dairy products vs. Adkins. Again, I strongly recommend it. Good luck...J
