South Beach Diet

The south beach diet was pioneered by Dr. Agatston who wrote the best selling book “The South Beach Diet”. Dr. Agatston is a well respected Dr. and his work on the South Beach Diet was based on observations that your body does not absorb highly processed carbs and polyunsaturated fat foods both of which are epidemic in American Diets. Therefore the South Beach Diet is less of a temporary diet and more of a permanent change in diet away from foods that the body has difficulty absorbing. The south beach diet further holds that the problem with foods your body can not absorb is that they then become stored as excess fat.

The south beach diet pioneers the role of good carbs and bad carbs and supports the notion that you should eat good fats and good carbs that your body can easily digest. sFollowing the South Beach Diet, you will invariably lose weight and eventually maintain an ideal body weight through the South Beach Diet. There are some suggestions that the South Beach Diet is more effective at reducing weight in the mid-section because this is where the excess fat is stored.
The South Beach Diet at a very minimum suggest good eating principles and is generally not a health risk. As with all diets consult a physician for specifically for what is right for you.
