Does The South Beach Diet Work For Fast Weight Loss? - by [AUTHOR]: "The South Beach Diet claims you can lose 13 pounds or more in two weeks. To be completely honest, the only way that such a huge amount of weight could vanish that quickly is if you became dangerously dehydrated losing huge amounts of water weight. However, does the South Beach Diet work for losing fat?

Considering that fat can simply not melt off like that in two weeks and such weight loss will be temporary and quickly regained, my immediate answer would be no. How does the South Beach Diet accomplish such fast weight loss anyway? A closer look shows that, like the Atkins Diet, the first few weeks require restricting carbohydrates severely, which means you will lack essential nutrients and can easily trigger your body’s starvation response. This type of dieting, along with being very misleading, has many negative consequences. "
