I really like it. If he rides a lot, Phase 1 needs to be modified because you just can't go on a several hour bike ride without carbs. Otherwise, the "diet" is the way we should all be eating - high fiber, low fat, lean protein, lots of veggies, etc.

I tried to follow the diet (i'm just not that disciplined). I looooooved some of the recipes in the book.
Actually, I noticed that when I went "free range" with my eating, I ended up falling into a South Beach diet kind of pattern. Felt great. Lost 50 lbs.

I lost 35 lbs on South Beach. I've been holding steady at 120-123 for several months now.
There is a very active forum that covers it.

This bod was designed for carbs (at least while I'm biking). It doesn't work well without them.

I would assume that you believe that SBD is a low carb diet. It certainly is in the first 2 weeks, but after that, it is not.

Geonz, read the book. The diet in Phase 3 is the right carbs not low carb. The previous phases are all about breaking you of cravings for sugar - simply like an elimination diet.

SBD jump-started my weight loss. I followed phase 1 to help me kick my sugars and refined carbs addiction. It provided a lot of information on what are good/bad carbs.
This is not a low-carb diet. It's a good/healthy carb diet. After phase 1, I felt more prepared to make better food selections and it helped me to make healthier eating a lifestyle change as opposed to feeling I was just on a diet.

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.
