South beach diet phase one? Weight loss!?

South Beach is a great diet. It's really fairly healthy. White foods: white pasta, white breads, sugar, et cetera, are never good for the body. Of course, you can have a treat every once in a while. But they have a massively negative impact on your weight, as well as your health. As for how much weight you can lose, it depends on how much weight you NEED to lose. If you are pretty overweight, you can expect to lose anywhere between 10 and 20 pounds. If you are average or thinnish, expect a smaller amount. Stick to it to a T and you should see some great results! As for exercise, I would get between 30 minutes to an hour of cardio at least six days a week. Remember to eat enough of the allowed foods so you will have energy, and take vitamins. Good luck! I don't think it's possible for someone to not lose weight doing the SB diet. It's amazing, but hard to get used to.
