My husband is also a meat-a-tarian and hates all things healthy. One compromise we have is those “smart” pastas (tastes like white pasta but is supposed to be whole grain).

What are your thoughts on that?

Hi! Love your little blog! Was wondering if you had any tips..i have been on south beach for a couple months now, havent lost an ounce. Because of that i have strayed mostly by having a few glasses of wine a week. I am young and single so i still need my social life. I have always eaten mindfully and always have worked out. I will say portion control is hard for me, because i love to indulge. I need some motivation, nothing seems to get ride of these lingering 10lbs. Thanks so much for making this and listening.

Thank you! I’m making progress, but it’s so nice to know it didn’t happen overnight for someone else too. I’ll remember to be patient and to keep going with my workouts. Your Summer Shape-up kicked my booty today, and now I’m one day closer to what I want my healthy life to be!

When you first started doing South Beach, how long it it take you to lose the first 15 or so pounds? I’m trying to lose weight and I find I get discouraged really easily, so I’m hoping to find someone else who can tell me how long it took them to really start seeing results. Of course I know everyone is different, but I’m just curious.

i’m gluten sensitive, so i can have it occasionally as long as it isn’t more than one day in a row. if i have it more than one day in a row, my stomach feels awful. so for the most part, i stay away but enjoy it when it’s worth it (cake, pizza, etc)

Gina,

I love your blog. It is my absolute fave.
Can you please tell me why you avoid gluten in all things? Do you have celiac or just do not think gluten is good for you?
Thanks,
Michelle
