Has the South Beach Diet worked for anyone?

I was thinking about going on the South Beach Diet-I really have a problem with eating "bad carbs".  I love chips, cookies anything refined, even though I know how bad it is for me and I will subsequently binge on those things.

Has this diet proved effective for anyone?  I want to start it tomorrow, if I can. 

i tried induction for 2 weeks and quit after lol. the only good thing was that i didn't really crave carbs when i'm usually crazy about cookies and cakes. i lost 3 lbs, but then i couldn't take it anymore and totally binged and i got caught in a bingeing cycle, so i quit.

anyway, don't do it. just count calories instead. it works better for some people, but you could be like me.

Although I have tried most diets, this is one that I personally haven't tried.  But I did know someone that really liked the diet and seemed to be losing on it.  I love the YOU diet.  I last 25 pounds and now I am at goal.  I never thought I would be here!
