Seriously, though, 24 pounds in 30 days? That’s extremely ambitious, perhaps even worrisome from a health standpoint. You might want to check with a doctor.

As to the practicality of the goal, South Beach predicts losses of 8-13 pounds during the two weeks of Phase 1. If you hit the high end of that range, you will be halfway home at roughly the halfway point of your timeline. (My losses were on the high end, though not as high as 13.) Weight comes off more slowly after that, however, as you will have already burned through the “easy pounds,” including much water weight.

Oh, and is “Chicken of the Sea” chicken or fish? Not that it especially matters — Miss Simpson will be pleased to learn — as both are encouraged under the South Beach Plan.
