Just wanted to share my experience with the meal delivery service that was offered from South Beach. I decide to try it for it one month to help jump start me on low carbs. While I signed up for it online I missed the fine print of having to have 2 months delivered. It was very upsetting to find out that when I canceled after the first month there was a cancelation fee of $125.00 The monthly meal delivery is not cheap at $300 so I decided to get hit with the fee and was very frustrated with the whole process in trying to cancel.

So be prepared... You really taking a chance on a meal plan for 60 days, not 30.

In summary, I would not recommend South Beach Diet to a friend.

Minus: It is difficult to use some of the leftover foods if you stay on their menu. However you could customize your menu using their daily nutrition guide.
