The South Beach Diet is an extremely fashionable nutrition plan based on many of the same low-carbohydrate principles first popularized by the Atkins diet. However, the diet’s main selling point was its comparative flexibility; followers were allowed to eat some grains and fruit, which are strongly discouraged in Atkins. In spite of this relative leniency, many still found the diet challenging long term. As breezy and relaxed as the name makes it sound, the South Beach Diet still contains numerous restrictions that left many dieters feeling deprived and depressed.

Review from Roberto (sent you review to Webmaster)
You can eat carbs in the South Beach diet, but, as in any diet, you have to control the quantity of carbs, or else it is useless to try it.
Here is my suggestion: try eating only 40g of carbs/day for one month, than raise it to 50 g next month and stay there for a third month. By the end of the third month you should have lost 12 lbs if you were faithful to the program and exercised at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 20 min each time. Slow to medium pace exercise, not running.
