I've notices some things that have been happening or i should say not happening since I started the South Beach Diet. Before I started it I had GERD really bad. It was so bad that I had to sleep sitting up because it was refluxing into my lungs causing all kinds of havoc with my asthma and all kinds of infections. I also had um....this is embarassing, but I also had bowel issues they were um...over active I guess you could say. I would go 4-5 times times before noon. It was bad. But since I've started on this change in my life I haven't had any problems with any of it. It's amazing. I'm not always rushing to the bathroom or coughing and staying awake all night from the GERD and I've actually been sleeping on my back. I'm so excited. It's just another good reason for me to stick to eating healthy!!!!

Eating smaller amounts and less fatty foods (which are easier to digest) may be part of the reason for your success. I also wonder if the fact that south beach foods are high in fiber helped your digestion as well.,

Yes, I think so, eat smaller meal and more often make me feel more energy, I have no scientific proof, but I can dance, go around, even run after my sister all day, I can't do it before.
