How much are we talking

[bigbobby]

I'm curious about something. I know that following the South Beach diet costs money. But just how much money are we talking about here? Will I be shelling out hundreds or thousands a year?

I think it's more in the hundreds range not the thousands. It's expensive but it's not THAT expensive. Personally, I think it becomes costly for people who have to buy food for more than just themselves.

It honestly depends on how much you want out of the diet and how closely you follow it. The manual costs about $25 and if you want to take part in an online membership you're looking at about $5 a week.

If you want to follow the diet exactly as directed, you can expect to shell out more cash to obtain the proper foods you need, etc. Basically I feel like if you're the only one following the diet and the only grocery bill you have to worry about is your own, it might be worth it. If you've got a whole family to shop for...South Beach could break the bank.

Wow it costs that much?? I thought that this diet was like weight watchers and had a free option! Yikes. This would be way too expensive for me!

Thanks for clearing that up Ron. That essentially answered my question. I just wanted a basic jumping off point. I guess now I got a decision to make haha!
