this isnt really relevant to this vid but i have a question or two! so my job landscaping ended last month it was relitavly physical but not much of a challenge. now i surf around 3-4 hours a day and id say its much more demanding. the thing is im eating alot more and i feel hungry more often. Should you eat when ur hungry inbetween meals or keep it to 3 big meals a day???? i have a 'bad habit' of grazing but i dont feel/see and negative effects from it..

I like your cautions against some aspects of the SBD. But I don't really think they should be termed "negative side effects." The SBD, to my knowledge, doesn't require dairy and artificial sweeteners. I also use stevia, and I have no problem with dairy--I am sure that vegetables can also be a good source of calcium, but that kind of nutritional knowledge isn't on everyone's plate. The SBD isn't perfect health-wise, but it is a good start for someone who wants to lose weight.

I'm lactrose intolerant and I have no problem doing the Diet, for my snack I have Yogurt cheese and pistachios, yogurt cheese has little to no lactose and doesn't bother my stomache... also aged yellow cheeses are fine, they little micro-organisms have consumed the milk sugar (lactose), cheese should be consumed in moderation (especially for me). I think splenda hasn't been around long enough to be trust worthy, STEVIA is a great sustitute, but I'm phase three so, turbinado sugar in moderation.

I use organic pure unfiltred honey to sweeten my drinks and cookies and it is really healthy I burn calories later by exercising, and it is really very good and it made my body get more balanced and I never had flu or any health issues since I included it in my diet 3 years ago.. it is costy but worthy..

I agree splenda and other chemical sugar substitutes are baaaaaad. I just take little sugar but I guess if you truly want to be no carb you have to be more vigilant. I like to cheat a little on diets. But I am going to really make an effort. And dairy gives me a leeetle trouble so this was good for me to watch thanks!

[boogerbuttz]

You people are funny! I love it!

[argon805]

thanks. I guess Splenda should be replaced with stevia.

[hotpinkmakeupgrl]

wow ehealth , thanks for posting the Negative Side Effects of the South Beach Diet because surely having a piece of string cheese wedged with celery and eating a sugar free Jello with my lunch everyday will give me Negative side effects. Beware! So, I think I'll switch back to having my swiss cake rolls!

[smhutson]

You are a fucking idiot that still isn't listening. Hope your mom eats tons of bacon on atkins and ends up like the man himself. YOu are a dumb shit. Go suck some more dick!

[11visionary11]

And yes, its the same as the modifing done yrs ago. We just have better technology to acheive a better result:)

Blah Blah Blah..oh save us from the veggies and meat of the world! Blah Blah Blah, our food is tainted! we can't eat splenda!

And all the ppl that eat that food (and DON"T GET SICK) and all the ppl who have lost weight with NO side effects from splenda, all the pp that live longer, healthier lives bc of GM are wrong..bc YOU know better?

LOL..sure, ..

[11visionary11]

Actually my mom is on atkins and it works great, and she eats SPLENDA.

Your the freak.

@"GM foods (THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT) that have taken over the planet "

Taken over the planet? Get a grip.

Our food is not killing us! GM food is ALL food...we have been modifing foods since the begining of time. Carrots used to be purple on the outside, corn? lol..Yes even organic food has been modified!

[smhutson]

You are an idiot that obviously didn't comprehend what you have read. I was specific about the types of chemicals and GM foods. Fact is the man-made chemicals and unhealthy GM foods (THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT) that have taken over the planet are not the same as naturally occurring "chemicals" or the current type of GM crap that Monsanto is producing. The CRAP that DOMINATES OUR FOOD SUPPLY is slowly killing people. GM today is not GM of yesterday.

[11visionary11]

If you know so much, you'd know chemicals are not all man made, that they are in the dirt its self, that ALL food is geneticaly modified (same as all roses and most plants) even organic.

You are just spouting nonsense that you hear and makes you feel good and in controle. Sad. "Chemicals" in general do NOT clog cells:)

Get a life and injoy it instead of stressing about nonsense.

[11visionary11]

No I am not obese, never have been, never will.....but my mother is obese, and my aunt and cousins...so I do know how hard it is and what works.

LMAO..an employee? You are an idiot.

There is a big difference between subtituting suger( like in your coffee) with splenda, which you never have to change..and eliminating "crap foods".

[smhutson]

If a person loses the weight on diet foods they will gain it all back 99% of the time. Those who keep it off will be far more successful if the crap food are eliminated all together.

Are you obese? Have you tried it either way? Or are you a Monsanto employee trolling the comments of diet pages?

[smhutson]

Chemicals are man made. I am talking about the chemicals that we eat and are pumped full of. I am not advocating eliminating all chemicals. The crap that has come into our food is making people sick. GM foods are not the same as the corn that was modified a few hundred years ago. Try to grow anything from a seed from a GM plant, you can't. The crap chemicals that they are putting in foods are clogging the cells of everyone. I eliminated as much as I can and am healthier that I have ever been.

[11visionary11]

If a person can loose weight and become healthier by using some artificial sweetner, good for them! The risks of obesity far outweigh the risks of splenda.

[11visionary11]

Not all chemicals are good of course, some are EXTREEMLY harmfull.

Good chemicals ( in nature or out) have allowed us the live longer and healtheir lives, even you. You are NOT chemical free, thats impossible. Being afraid of stuff you can't get rid of totally is silly. Relax.

[11visionary11]

The earth is filled with chemicals. Of course they are in everything?

Chemicals like pesticides have allowed more ppl to eat HEALTHY foods, grow more, loose less to disease and such. Chemicals got rid of malraia in north america, and chemicals in medicine have treated ALOT of issues, like cancer. Not all animals are "shot up.." and every food is genetically modified, even organic corn! Lol. You CAN"T live without chemicals.

[smhutson]

Name a chemical that is good for you.If you eat the foods that the earth gives you you will be healthy. Today chemicals are in everything. Everything is processed then the natural foods are genetically modified and sprayed with chemicals that are absorbed into it.The animals we consume are shot up with chemicals and drugs are are fed grains that were genetically modified and sprayed with chemicals. I did not get healthy until I cut out diet foods and went organic(food not treated with Chemicals)

[11visionary11]

MANY chemicals are good for you. Are artificial sweetners? Not really, but splenda isnt as bad as aspertame..and lets face it, the bottem line is when your extreemly over weight, using an artificial sweetner to loose wieght is still healthier than staying fat.

[smhutson]

Did I say it was? Though I would stick with Stevia or agave nectar for non sugar sweeteners. If it is patented it is a chemical and chemicals are never good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[11visionary11]

Splenda isnt aspartame.

[smhutson]

Don't forget the Aspartame, it contains Methanol and is in all sorts of foods. Methanol in the body crosses the blood brain barrier causing neurological issues like seizures, memory loss etc. Do research before putting any chemical in your body. Remember, no company can patent a natural food supplement but chemically altered ones can be. Be careful and do your home work before consuming these additives.

I haven't tried the South Beach diet because I haven't been to South Beach and eaten in the fast food restaurants. LOL
