The South Beach Diet is touted as
another “big leap” to the slimming arena when it is first formulated by Dr.
Arthur Agatston who found out that some of his patients were having little
progress by using the traditional low carb-high fat diet plans.
Generally, the South Beach Diet
is such an acclaimed form of diet that is mainly divided into three different
phases. It is considered that the first
phase of the South Beach Diet lasts for two weeks. And it is interesting to know that every
phase of the South Beach Diet includes particular meal plans and recipes. For those who have tried the Atkins Diet, you
may react that the South Beach Diet with such introduction to its phases really
sounds quite similar to that of Atkins, but then try to note that the South
Beach Diet is a low-carb diet.
The Phase one of the South Beach
Diet is the strictest part of this “big thing”.
Here, the dieter will be totally eliminating fruits, bread, rice,
potatoes, pasta, sugar, alcohol, and baked goods for two weeks from your
diet. Such exclusion of the items is the
primary reason why some people may assume that the South Beach Diet is a
low-carb plan. With such given fact, the
dieter therefore will be eliminating many foods that he or she may be
accustomed to eating such as a roll with dinner or a banana in the morning, and
say babushka to junk foods. But then,
after the set two weeks are done, the dieters are now free to add back what is
excluded from their diets.
The second phase of the South
Beach Diet involves the discipline of beginning to add the foods that were
off-limits before. So the dieters can
now begin to add bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, or cereal to their meals. The choice is just up to them. In fact, at this phase of the South Beach
Diet, the dieter can add fruit too, if he or she wishes. It is interesting to know that this diet
provides the dieters the freedom to choose which of those foods they will add
back into their diet. Thus, the key in this phase of the South Beach Diet is to
re-introduce those foods in moderation and to not take them as always as
before.
Finally, as the third phase of
the South Beach Diet enters, the final and the least restrictive phase of the
South Beach Diet emerged. It is noted by
Dr. Agatston himself that as long as a dieter follows the fundamental rules of
the South Beach Diet, he or she will continue to manage his/her own weight
until it becomes a way of life.
