Has anyone had any success using the "South Beach Diet?"?

Question:

Answers:
The South Beach Diet is a three-phase weight-loss program developed by cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston. The first phase of the diet is the most restrictive and lasts for two weeks. It emphasizes lean proteins, fat-free or low-fat cheese, nuts, eggs, tofu, legumes, healthy types of fat and low-glycemic-index vegetables. Phase II reintroduces fruit, whole grain bread, rice, pasta and fat-free milk and yogurt. Dieters stay on Phase II until they've lost their desired amount of weight. Phase III is for maintenance and should be followed for life. Dieters are encouraged to move back and forth between the different phases as needed to maintain their weight loss. By following this diet, the plan promises positive changes in markers of cardiovascular health: lower cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, along with increased HDL cholesterol levels.

The South Beach Diet's website includes a weight tracker which allows dieters to plot their progress and learn how to stay on course; a schedule of meals and recipes; an automatically generated shopping list; a place to keep a personal dieting journal; and a message board where people can go for mutual support and dieting tips. Dr. Agatston is also on hand to provide daily tips and to answer questions.
