Rather than following the south beach diet, try a more straightforward approach. Make a list of all the items you eat that are high in fat and sugar. Eliminate most of these from your daily intake and only allow a small amount now and again. Read food labels and try to understand portion sizes. You may be surprised at what you find. For instance, a serving of ice cream is only half a cup for a total of about 300 calories. Can you see how easy it would be to serve up a cup or even a cup and a half? Now that "serving" of ice cream is 600 to 750 calories! Try to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. This could be a standard exercise such as running mixed up with some fun like dancing.

Remember the key to a healthy diet: Everything in moderation! The south beach diet may work for some people, but it certainly won't work for everyone. Following a generally healthy diet and exercising regularly is a less complicated approach to weight loss.
