The next big diet to sweep the nation, The South Beach Diet not only promotes significant weight loss without exercise, and is accompanied by none of the hunger, headaches and other symptoms that accompany most diet plans, it also helps to improve cardiac health and reverse diabetes
Originally created by Miami’s foremost cardiologist to prevent/reverse the heart and vascular problems that result from obesity, The South Beach Diet’s main thrust is to provide a balanced, heart-healthy plan that fundamentally changes people’s tastes in a manner that virtually eliminates interest in sugar and processed foods. In the first phase, dieters are asked to heavily restrict their consumption of sugars and carbohydrates and reduce their caloric intake. During these first two weeks, the pounds come off quickly, which is a valuable psychological jumpstart to the diet. During phase two, where most of the weight is lost, dieters blend carbohydrates back in to the plan. Phase three is maintenance. The result is that dieters can eat whatever they want, because what they actually want to eat has changed. In addition, no exercise is needed for weight loss, and everyone who has been on the diet has enjoyed reduction in their waistlines more than any other are of their bodies.
The Diet Everyone's Talking
For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.
So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and it doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first!
Dr. Agatston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet.
