The South Beach Diet
SouthBeachDiet.com
The South Beach Diet is not a traditional low-carb plan. Instead, you’ll be encouraged to choose the right carbs, such as whole grains and certain fruits and vegetables; the right fats, such as olive and canola oil; and lean sources of protein. You’ll find plenty of information on The South Beach Diet Online to help guide you. Explore this site for more on the diet and what you can expect.
How It Works:
- Following Phase 1 for two weeks kick-starts your weight loss. You’ll eat normal-size portions of lean meat, fish, eggs, reduced-fat cheese, nonfat yogurt, nuts, and plenty of vegetables. Snacks and desserts are part of the plan, as well.
- Next, you’ll move on to Phase 2, where you’ll learn to reintroduce the right carbs, such as whole grains and most fruits. Some indulgences are allowed. You should continue to lose weight on Phase 2 until you reach your goal.
- Once you’ve reached your goal weight, you’ll move to Phase 3 (the maintenance phase), where you’ll continue to make good eating choices. The plan will feel less like a diet and more like a lifestyle.
