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. |
