If I lost 10 pounds during South Beach Diet Phase 1, what kind of weight loss can I expect in South Beach Diet Phase 2 and the future?
Dr. Agatston: Early South Beach Diet Phase 2 should resemble South Beach Diet Phase 1 and I would expect about 2 lbs per week. Later Phase 2 should resemble South Beach Diet Phase 3 (maintenance phase) and weight loss would likely slow to 1 lb to week. But remember, the slower weight loss is more likely to result in permanent weight loss.
