The South Beach Diet. What is it and how it can help me? Yes, I know what you are thinking. It is another diet plan of the many countless diet plans out there in the market today. Each and every year, there seems to be a new or updated version of a diet plan.
DIET PLAN
Dr. Agatston who wanted to improve the cholesterol level and insulin levels in his patients who have heart disease created the South Beach Diet Plan. Very similar to the Atkins Diet, it is commonly known as updated version, where a similar doctor did a similar thing for his patients who needed surgery. But as with the Atkins Diet who were overweight and needed to lose weight very quickly in order to have surgery.
LIFE STYLE DIET
The South Beach Diet is more of a lifestyle diet encouraging people to keep fit maintain health and facilitate weight loss. The diet teaches you to rely on the right types of carbohydrates and the right types of fat. These particular groups are called good carbs and good fats. The result is a definite loss of weight loss and lowering of cholesterol levels. Along with the reduction in insulin levels, it creates a longer long term life changing effect where the reduction of heart disease and diabetes are common with high insulin levels. The diet creates or eliminates cravings and hunger, but also requires the dieter's determination and motivation to reap these great rewards.
STAGES
Similar to the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet works in various stages. The first two periods are followed by a specific period of time and the third stage is a maintenance stage that you follow for life. It is a lifestyle change that we are trying to teach people here. During the plan, you will be eating three well-proportioned meals per day and two snacks. The meals in the program are flexible and can incorporate with whatever lifestyle you may have. It is not overly strict and excessive. It will not hinder you in your lifestyle as certain other diets do. It is a course of action to be taken long term and will reduce your body fat long term if kept to this dieting regime. Like most things, everything in moderation and not excess, eat the right foods, cut back on your bad carbohydrates and bad fats and you will live a longer life.
