Hi

The South Beach Diet is healthy. I've had two doctors say it was a safe way to lose weight as it is moderate carbs (not low carbs) and low fat. I was on it for about a month or two and I did lose weight.

However, my IBS got worse. I didn't discover Heather's website until last week, so I didn't know how important soluble fiber is for those of us with IBS (SBD basically recommends more insoluble fiber than soluble).

If your IBS is stable, you might be able to do a modified SBD. Make sure to include soluble fiber such as brown or wild rice, barley, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes with your insoluble fibers at every meal. Be really careful with the "diet" recipes as most of them call for Splenda (sorbitol) and that causes cramping even in non-IBS people.

Heather's dietary guidelines are low fat and heart healthy, so you should be able to lose weight (just limit desserts)following her guidelines as well.

Good luck!
