The South Beach Diet teaches you to rely on the right carbs and the right fats–the good ones–and enables you to live quite happily without the bad carbs and bad fats.
As a result, it promises that you池e going to get healthy and lose weight–somewhere between 8 and 13 pounds in the first two weeks alone.
Here痴 how you do it:
For Phase 1:
* You値l eat normal-size helpings of meat, chicken, turkey, fish, and shell-fish.
* You値l have plenty of vegetables. Eggs. Cheese. Nuts.
* You値l have salads with real olive oil in the dressing.
* You値l have three balanced meals a day, and it will be your job to eat so that your hunger is satisfied.
* You値l drink water, of course, plus coffee or tea if you wish.
For the next 14 days you won稚 be having any bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. No fruit, even. Before you panic: You値l begin adding those things back into your diet again in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the great article.
This diet is a crappy gimic that promotes unhealthy eating habits. If you want to be thin you have to live a "thin" lifestyle.
Control your portions and eat only what you need. (hint: it's WAY less calories then you have been consuming). Secondly choose water and tea over coffee and alcohol. If you aren't willing to do this, you aren't going to loose weight properly. You are just going to yo yo up and down for the rest of your life as you feign not to know why...
Thanks. I heard of it but never knew much about it.
THANK YOU
Thanks for the article.
I like this better than the Atkin's Diet. Much easier to follow.
Interesting, think I´ll stick to my vegan diet, though...;)
Now see that was my question i am a diabetic and I wasn't sure if this would be good because you do add the carbs back in after a few weeks?
Sounds different
