Well, the South Beach Diet is
being considered as another “big thing” that the slimming world has ever
introduced. But where exactly did the
South Beach Diet come from? Here’ the
answer: the South Beach Diet was actually formulated by a person named Dr.
Arthur Agatston after the truth that some of his patients were having little
success by using the said to be conventional low carb – high fat diet plans
like the Atkins diet which is also known from around the globe.
Dr. Arthur Agatston, being then a
cardiologist and knowing the condition of his patients, has a main concern of
finding a diet that will to a perfect healthy heart. Finding no such source for that diet, he
decided to formulate his own diet plan and that was become known as the South
Beach Diet.
According to the testimony of Dr.
Agatston, since the introduction of the South Beach Diet, many people who
followed the South Beach Diet actually lost an average of 13.6 pounds almost
double the 7.5 pounds lost by those who use the strict “Step II” of the
American Heart Association (AHA) diet.
Along with that, there also found that with the use of the South Beach
Diet many people were showed to have greater decreases in their waist-to-hip
ration and triglycerides, and their good to bad cholesterol ratio even improved
more.
Generally, the South Beach Diet,
in a word, is not considered as a low carbohydrate diet as it is commonly
associated. It is for the fact that the
idea behind the South Beach Diet is to lose weight in a way that is healthy for
those who take it, in particular the dieters.
The South Beach Diet then unlike
the low carbohydrate diets is usually taken by having the dieter choose between
the good and bad carb foods. As such,
the dieter is required to eat more fruits and even entire grain bread when it
is contrasted to other low carb diets.
So, in the South Beach Diet, there is somewhat a sense of “yin and
yang”, that it is more balanced than any other low carb diets in the whole
world.
