Is it a long-term diet?

[Mike]

Is the south Beach diet something that is for short-term weight loss results or is this the kind of diet that you can use to lose weight, as well as for weight loss maintenance? I'm looking for a diet that will let me do both.

Yes it is longterm and it's not a half bad diet. I don't think of it as a fad diet and I think it's worth a try if you're interested.

Thanks Kyra! I think I might give it a try. Worse case is I don't like it and I choose something else, right?

In spite of being somewhat of a fad diet, yes it is a long-term plan. It has three phases, with the third phase designed for maintenance.
