We’ve been on the South Beach diet between 5-6 weeks now. We both feel significantly better, and our clothes which were way too tight 6 weeks ago are now bagging on us. 
It has been good for both of us, and hopefully will contribute to better health – such as helping to lower my cholesterol! We have to do major shopping trip to fill up the frig w/fresh food, but we have discovered a new store called Tesco. Between it, Costco, and the local market – we can get most of what is required. Jackie picks me up in front of the building as I leave language class and the outing takes 3-4 hours. Driving a car makes this much more do-able for us.
