South Beach Diet

The south beach diet was developed by Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist, who created this diet to help his patient's with heart problems. Southbeach diet is proven effective for losing weight and for creating a healthy cardiovascular system. On the south beach diet you can eat three balanced meals a day and eat until your hunger is satisfied. It allows you to eat mid morning and afternoon snacks and have dessert after dinner.

South beach diet is composed of three phases. Phase 1 lasts for 14 days and restricts bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, baked goods, fruit and alcohol of any kind. Many people lose substantial weight in your first two weeks, mostly off the midsection.
In phase 2 of the southbeach diet you begin adding back the banished foods like bread, pasta, rice, cereal, potatoes and fruit. You remain in phase 2 until you reach your weight loss goal and will likely lose some weight each week in this phase. Phase 3 is the maintenance phase and lasts the rest of your life.
With the south beach diet you can eat lots of fruits and veggies and can have lean beef, pork, veal and lamb. You can have good fats like olive oil, canola oil and peanut oil. The south beach diet does not allow you to eat white flour or white sugar but you can have whole grain breads and cereals and wholewheat pasta. On the southbeach diet your meals will consist of healthy carbs, proteins and fats. There are no calories, carbs, fats or proteins to be counted and there is no limit to the portion size.
