The South Beach Diet has swept the country in the last four to five years as part of America’s continuing attempt to lose weight. The South Beach Diet is a new way of eating, different then its low-fat and low-carbohydrate predecessors. The South Beach Diet approaches eating in an entirely different way. The South Beach Diet teaches that carbohydrates and fats are not bad in and of themselves. The focus of this diet is teaching you to find the right carbohydrates and fats.
The South Beach diet claims that there are bad carbohydrates and bad fats. When you eat these “bad” types of food, you’ll feel hungrier and eat more than you intend to. This causes weight gain. With the South Beach diet, you’ll learn to eat good carbohydrates and good fats in the right proportions. The pay off is an 8 to 13 pound weight loss in the first two weeks on the South Beach Diet program. After the initial two-week period, weight loss may slow some. But the South Beach Diet is still a very effective way to lose weight and keep it off for the long term.
A highly respected cardiologist located in Miami’s South Beach, named Dr. Arthur Agatston developed the South Beach Diet. The South Beach Diet is safe but also very effective in eliminating excess fat from your body. Similar to the popular Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet works in stages. The first two stages are followed for a specific period of time, and the third stage is the maintenance stage that you follow for life. Like many diets, the South Beach Diet is much less of a diet and more like a lifestyle change. When you are on the South Beach Diet, you will be eating three portioned meals per day, and two snacks. The meal plans on the program are very flexible so you can incorporate it into your lifestyle.
