What are the side effects on South Beach diet?

You eat ice cream, and gain back every pound you lost. According to a survey and a program I watched on dieting the 'South Beach Diet' and 'Weight Watchers' ranked the highest. Both diets are actually training you how to eat healthy and not to over-eat. You should be learning something from it and it soon becomes a habit like breathing as how much you eat and what foods are good for you. There is no magic to losing weight and it's simply learning how to eat right and realizing you are going to have to do it for the rest of your life as well as keeping physically active and also drinking those 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water every day (more if you are exercising heavily.)
