South Beach??

 So I had my gbp 4 years ago. I lost a huge chunk of weight (over 100 lbs), but when I started school I slacked a little in being careful with my eating and did a lot more sitting (studying, etc). And as a consequence I gained 15+ pounds. So after graduation I went back to a high protein, very low carb diet (similar to Atkins, with some minor differences). I lost the 15+ and about 20 more too.  

Now I'm still wanting to lose about 25 or so pounds, but I'm thinking South Beach might be better for me. The very low carb (mostly meat, veggies and nuts) causes some issues such as constipation, and I have to work really hard to get fiber in that I used to get through whole grains and fruits. Also I'm getting bored with no variety in my diet, and I'm afraid I will wander if I don't add some sort of variety. For these reasons SBD is making more sense to me. 

So, I'm just wondering how SBD is for those of us with GBP? Isn't it basically low glycemic, fairly low carb, etc. And is it pretty close to how we are supposed to be eating? Or is it too high carb for us? Thoughts? What have you read about it? What has your experience been? Etc?

Thanks in advance, you all are always quite helpful!

My surgeon told me to read the book before my surgery and that is how we are going to eat for life. I have read most of it and there are three phases 2 weeks no carb, then low carb till goal weight then phase 3 maintenance. I have found that carb cycling is extremly effective and i lost like 7 pounds each cycle with working out. I dont know if carb cycling is dr. Recommended but it worked for me.

 South Beach is an excellent maintenance plan after weight loss surgery, especially if you can tolerate carbs.

 Thank you both for your replies, I appreciate you taking the time to weigh in. I have done a lot of research and I'm going to go for it. It really isn't all that different than what I'm doing now, but introducing some small amounts of whole grains and fruit (which might be helpful to my digestion if ya know what I mean lol). Plus that just seems more well rounded too. Anyway, thank you again!

Wow I was actually thinking of following the SBD too. I'm 5 months out but I find myself eating too many bad Caribs already. I think the structure of this plan will get me back on track.thanks for posting this!
