We have heard lot about the South Beach Diet. You knoe the South Beach Diet is not low carb, not low fat diet. The South Beach Diet -a system- teaches you to rely on the right carbs and the right fats and enables you to live quite happily without the bad carbs and bad fats.
The South Beach Diet is system which is devided in 3 phases:
Phase 1: Banishing Your Cravings
Phase 2: Reintroducing Carbs
Phase 3: A Diet for Life
1. Banishing Your Cravings
During Phase 1, you generally eat normal-size helpings of meat, chicken, turkey, fish, and shellfish. You’ll have plenty of vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You’ll have salads with real olive oil in the dressing. You’ll have three balanced meals a day.
For the first 14 days you won’t be having any bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. No fruit, even. No candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, or sugar for two weeks, either. No beer or alcohol of any kind.
2. Reintroducing Carbs
Now, you should continue to lose weight after the 14-day period ends; even though you will have started adding some of those banished foods back into your life. You’ll still be on a diet, but if it’s bread you love, you’ll have bread. If it’s pasta, you’ll reintroduce that. Rice or cereal, too. Potatoes. Fruit will definitely be back. Chocolate? If it makes you feel good, sure.
3. A Diet For Life
This is the stage that lasts the rest of your life. You’ll be eating normal foods, after all, in normal-size portions. You can then feel free to forget all about the South Beach Diet, as long as you remember to live by its few basic rules.
As you’re losing weight and altering how your body responds to food, a change will be taking place. This one will significantly alter your blood chemistry, to the long-term benefit of your cardiovascular system.
You may start on the South Beach Diet hoping just to lose weight. If you adopt it and stay with it, you will surely accomplish that much – plus all the benefits of a healthy diet and a thinner body.
