South
Beach Diet™: Hundreds of recipes and 24-hour support 
South
Beach Diet Online provides you with all the information and tools
you need to succeed!.
Following "Phase 1" for two weeks kick-starts
your weight loss. You'll eat normal-size portions of lean meat,
fish, eggs, reduced-fat cheese, nonfat yogurt, nuts, and plenty
of vegetables. Snacks and desserts are part of the plan, as well.
Next, you'll move on to "Phase 2," where you'll
learn to reintroduce the right carbs, such as whole grains and
most fruits. Some indulgences are allowed. You should continue
to lose weight on Phase 2 until you reach your goal.
Once you've reached your goal weight, you'll move to "Phase
3" (the maintenance phase), where you'll continue
to make good eating choices. The plan will feel less like a diet
and more like a lifestyle.

Beach Diet 
Online features over 1000 recipes, weight-loss tools, online dietitians
and live support. Dr. Arthur Agatston, an established cardiologist,
created The South Beach Diet™ in the mid-1990s in response to
his disillusionment with the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet that
the American Heart Association recommended. Dr. Agatston believed
that the low-fat diets of that era did not seem to work reliably,
especially over the long haul.
A recent weight-loss study published in the Archives of Internal
Medicine indicated that people who followed The South
Beach Diet ™
lost nearly twice as much weight — around 13.5 pounds total —
compared to those who followed a National Cholesterol Education
Program low-fat diet.
