It's safe to say that I've never been much of a healthy eater—especially recently since I've been home a lot. All day I find myself snacking on a nearby bag of chips, stuffing a handful of candy into my mouth, or drinking yet another sugary drink. And with all this, I still wonder why I can't lose weight. I've tried fad diets in the past, but I always had to guiltily stop after only a few days because of my constant cravings.

A few of my friends swear by a low-carb, high-fat diet. I figured this wasn't a time to be attempting a diet since I don't have easy access to as much fresh produce to prep healthier meals, but after a little research, I came across the South Beach Diet and discovered that they use a low-carb approach at the core of their program and is also high in heart-healthy fats.

By adding in more lean proteins alongside cutting out added sugar and unhealthy fats, you will feel full longer while eating less. And because you eat six times a day, there's absolutely no fasting or feeling deprived of food. And most importantly, the whole month's worth of meals is delivered straight to your doorstep every month!

The key to transforming your body relies on its nutritious and balanced meals that contain a wide variety of wholesome ingredients. They are specially created to eliminate those annoying cravings for carbs and sugar that cause us to overeat. Unhealthy eating habits cause your body's sugar levels to spike, especially when eating a lot of refined carbs, which leads to higher amounts of fat being stored.

This cycle is shattered by adopting a high-protein, low-carb dietary pattern into your daily routine. I found myself suddenly without the refined sugar cravings I had become so accustomed to. Sticking to a diet in the first week was hard for me in the past, but with meals like delicious Artichoke and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast and succulent Roasted Turkey with Herb Gravy, eating low-carb was easier than ever!

I've heard a lot of great things about low-carb, and the South Beach Diet makes sticking to this usually restrictive diet so much easier. Dozens of meals were available to me, and my favorite is the Sesame-Glazed Beef & Veggie Bowl. I love the available snacks, and I knew that if I got hungry in the evening, I would be satisfied with a Fudgy Graham Crumble Bar. Plus, after I hit my target weight, I can order my favorite South Beach meals. It's also a great place to stock up on healthier snack options. I'm all about snacking these days!

The best part of it all is that the South Beach Diet doesn't require endless amounts of exercise to lose weight— just 30 minutes a day! In fact, studies have found that you're more likely to lose weight by cutting calories than by increasing exercise. Even though you don't have to work out a lot with South Beach, they have a ton of workouts on their content site, The Palm, you can do from home.

Don't worry that your limitations are going to stand in the way of your weight loss goals. If you focus on following the South Beach Diet plan, you will have what you need to be a healthier you. Even better, you'll find that you have stronger energy levels. It's almost like your body's way of thanking you for eating healthy.

I was worried about changing my eating habits during such an uncertain time initially, but after seeing and feeling my results, I am convinced the South Beach Diet works. With plans starting as low as $10 per day and a wide variety of meals to choose from, I had escaped the boring diets that had plagued me in the past.

I was finally able to break my carb cravings once and for all while still eating foods that I enjoy. Plus, the convenience of getting the meals delivered to the door meant I didn't have to go to the grocery store as much. Win win!
