  - Healthy Way to Lose Weight- The South Beach DietSouth Beach Diet..........It Works. Lose weight the healthy way. Rating: - A Sustainable Low Carb DietThe South Beach Diet was written by Dr. Arthur Agatston is a cardiologist from Miami Florida. The premise is that processed carbs make you fat, and cutting them out of your diet will make you thin. Agatston recommends a diet high in lean protein along with plenty of green vegetables, nuts, and modest amount of legumes. At first glance this diet might seem strikingly similar to the Atkins diet, however it has a few noted differences, which make it much more doable. First and foremost he does not advocate a diet high in saturated fat, and encourages eating only lean protein. The fats he does recommend are monounsaturated fats that can be found in olive oil and salmon. Also he recommends plenty of vegetables and a moderate amount of fruits and legumes later in the diet, with the occasional piece of whole grain bread allowed. South Beach Diet now offers an online program that provides personalized support, along with an interactive community and plenty of virtual tools. Pros Quick Weight Loss If you have the willpower to stick with it you can lose a ton of weight on this diet, and in a fast amount of time. It's not uncommon for people to lose 20 or more lbs on this diet in the first month. Cons Hard to maintain: Though the diet is far less restrictive then Atkins, it still may prove too tough for some to maintain over a lifetime. Bottom Line The South Beach Diet really does work when it comes to taking the weight off. The question is, can it be sustained over a lifetime? For some yes, for others....not so much. When it comes to low carb diets, this is the best option out there. Rating: - Quick, easy weight loss.Lost 40 lbs in 6 weeks It works! I noticed a couple of posts here asking how do you stick to this plan? That's easy because staying or sticking to this diet is easy. So much variety. So many many choices. You feel real good on this plan. High energy and satiety. This isn't some low calorie, high carb, nutritionless program that looks great on paper but leaves you tired, hungry and tense and still fat. It is a program that is complete, provides good nutrition and you will feel great. I lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks and it was the easiest 30 lbs I have ever lost. Although I have lost weight on other programs, the results were always short lived and I couldn't stick to those programs either because of hunger pangs, irritablity or just lack of food choices---diets were boring. Not so with this program. And it's good for you too. Try it, you'll like it Rating: - South Beach DietThis diet is the diet to beat all diets. I received the exact book promotly and as described. Thanks! Rating: - The book came in great condition and earlier than expectedI've been on the South Beach Diet Since January and have lost 14 pounds. I fell off in the 3 week and gained 5 lbs but went back to phase I and lost the 5lbs. So far I've lost 20 pounds. I recommend this diet to those who don't really exercise and have a portion control problem to try this. |
