A Dieting Revolution
The South Beach Diet is a revolutionary way of looking at weight loss. It isn’t low carb or low fat—it’s all about balance and learning to choose good fats and good carbs instead of foods that don’t help your body. This diet was developed by Miami cardiologist Arthur Agaston as a way for heart patients to lose weight in a healthy way and keep it off, but it was so successful that soon everyone wanted to try it. During the first two weeks on the South Beach Diet you’ll begin the process of learning to eat in a new way. You’ll eat three balanced meals a day with normal size portions of meat, seafood, vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You won’t be hungry and you’ll learn how to ignore cravings and avoid wanting to overeat. You get to have snacks twice a day, drink diet soda, and eat out, but there are a few things you can’t eat in the first two weeks. You can’t have bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, baked goods, candy, ice cream, sugar, or fruit. You also can’t have beer or alcohol. But it’s only for two weeks. After that, you get to add these foods back into your diet in a healthy way. After the first two weeks, the next phase of the South Beach Diet begins. You’ll still eat plenty of lean protein, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, and nuts, but you also get to add in some of your favorite carbohydrates and sugars. You’ll learn the difference between good carbs and bad carbs and learn to balance foods so that you stay full and have plenty of energy! You stick to this phase of the diet until you reach your target weight. Then you can add in even more carbs and sugars while still maintaining your new weight. Once you know how to balance healthy options with not-as-healthy favorites, it’s easy to eat what you love and still keep the weight off.The South Beach Diet is less of a diet and more of a way of life. It teaches you how to eat so that it isn’t such a struggle to be healthy. The foods emphasized are universally considered to be healthy choices rich in vitamins, minerals, omega-3 oils, and good fats. There are even prepackaged South Beach meal options that can be purchased online or in grocery stores, which makes it even easier to stay on track.

Help answer the question about diet
How important is the diet when it comes to a workout plan?I read these magazines that have these excellent workout plans. I do the workouts, but I don't do the crazy diet that they show with it. I don't eat a lot of egg whites and things like that, but I do make sure I eat healthy and drink protein shakes like "Muscle Milk". Is it important to follow the diet plan that they have in these magazines? I mean, prisoners don't follow a series diet plan and they come out pretty ripped.
No difference between the two.
The Atkins Diet that encourages high dairy and meat protein and fats, that 'eventually' plug up everyone's liver have not changed.
I agree with low carb high protein, just not making a diet of dairy-calcium, meat-cholesterol, and too many fats like I used to do.
Campbell's "The China Study" agrees with this view.
The people who are profiting from Atkins methods have changed only a little since Dr. Atkins passing. When it pays the bills it is hard to change one's view of the simple facts. Similar to someone who sells cigarettes for a living, who insists nicotine is not a carcinogen or addictive.

i love it..thats wat i've been sayin for years but no one listens….thank you… i now know that im not alone!!!
i got abs and im and im build this all bell shit if u eat clean and 6 meals a day it dasnt metter how much u eat jest dont over eat ive been doing my way so long ppl make it harder than it is number cant help u u have to now your body. one thing look at ppl who are look relly fit ake them wat they eat not same on that looks like here dong see her showing her abs
I've done very well on it, lost 35 lbs so far. I've also found that most of my aches and pains have gone away, but they come back if I start back on high-carbs.
Drawbacks: First of all, not everyone will lose weight as fast as he indicates. It's common for people to stall on the 3rd or 4th week. If you have a lot of weight to lose, you will probably find it goes in fits and starts. I personally tend to lose a bunch, then stay at the same weight for a long time, then lose a bunch more. However, I feel that this is my body adapting to it's new composition and shape. Give it time and stick to the plan, the weight will eventually come off.
The first week you will probably go through "induction flu" which is withdrawal from sugar. I was exhausted and my arm and legs felt like they weighed a ton. Once I got past that I was fine. Others experience actual flu-like symptoms.
The general consensus is to stick to real foods and avoid low-carb "products" as much as possible. Atkins is about learning a healthy new lifestyle, not substituting one kind of crap for another. Most of your carbs should be coming from veggies.
When you are in ketosis, you may have a funny taste/odor on your breath and odor in your urine from the ketones. You get used to it, many people suck on sugar free mints or chew sugarless gum to offset it. Personally, when I get that funny taste I'm happy because I know I'm burning fat.
The main thing is to make it a lifestyle. If you think of it as a "diet" that you're going to end, it becomes tedious – especially during those times when you are not losing. I now concentrate on eating in a healthy fashion and doing my exercise, I feel that in the long run my body will eventually settle at a weight that it is best for it.
I'm a member of a low-carb forum which I've found very helpful. The people there are really supportive, and it's motivating for me to go there regularly. There's lots of recipes too. They have a section devoted strictly to Atkins.

Ok this is stupid. I’m MUCH thinner than her and a lot of the stuff she’s saying is very incorrect.
@exposing31 Might I suggest wheatgrass juice? It is by far the most alkaline food one can consume on a per weight basis. grown from red winter wheat berries at home.
nah i haven't read them. basically they way i lost weight is the way everyone always says "diet and exercise bla bla bla" lol. i did cardio to burn fat like swimming, biking, hiking, walking, etc. i ate healthy like grilled chicken instead of fried etc.
you can search the web there's a plethora of info about weight loss.
Have you considered that in order to loose weight you need to also be relaxed. Eating when stressed or feeling pressured to loose weight only sets you up to fail. Relaxation is an important element so too visulizations . Jonathan Robert Banks is an expert in relaxation techniques. His CD’s guide you to relax, visualize, recover, and rehearse your goals. Really they are a part of self nurturing and daily routine for you. U-tube yourbraintraining , google – relaxationforme All the best
Hi, hope this helps.
The Original Atkins'
Diet Revolution Rolls
Ingredients:
3 large eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 Tablespoons cottage cheese (or 3 1/2 tbsp ricotta)
2 packets Splenda
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Separate eggs very carefully (make sure NONE of the yolk gets into the white.) Spray PAM on a Teflon cookie sheet. Use an electric beater to beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (but not dry).
Mix egg yolks, cottage cheese and Splenda in separate bowl. Fold yolk-mixture carefully into egg whites being sure not to break down fragile whites — mix no longer than 1 minute.
Place the mixture carefully on the cookie sheet, gently putting one tablespoon on top of another until it is two (2) inches in height. Repeat until you have 6 little "pillows." Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 35-55 minutes (depending on your firmness preference.)
Makes 6 rolls. 1 net gram of carbohydrate per serving.
NOTE: We have substituted Splenda for the old Sugar Twin recommended in the 70's. Use your preferred sweetener.
NORMAL sugar level do not cause problems in any one! that is why they are NORMAL!
Sugar is the fuel your body uses to grow, heal, and reproduces. You MUST have SOME sugar in your blood, or you will pass out, go into a coma, and die.
a NORMAL level is between 80 and 120. in EVERYONE, if level are higher than that for a long period of time (several weeks) then damage is caused — even in a "normal" person.
However, SCIENTIFIC research show Dr. Atkins' statements to be wrong. "Cross molecular protein links" is just a bunch of meaningless words used to "sound official" and impress people.
you would be MUCH better off to visit http://www.diabetes.org and get some REAL information.
Awesome Sarah…you look beautiful here girl! Where can I get a scale like that?
@Endymion766 If that were true then starving children in India wouldn’t have distended stomachs and diabetics and women that gave childbirth would have an easy time losing weight as well.
nuts have the most calories out of anything, people use them to gain weight.
so i have no idea how you could lose weight with that
the bottom line is
how effective a "diet" is is measured on how sustainable it is. In other words, how realistic long term compliance will be. Because if you cant sustain it (i.e. its a fad) then you go back to your old ways and guess what, you gain again, and usually more fat through muscle loss.
A cabbage soup diet is going to be nowhere near as sustainable as a rounded low fat diet. Which one do you think is going to give better LONG TERM results?
exelent presentation !! i really like to have some more of this…i tried so many diets last year with no success so far !!
@Endymion766 talk to your doctor because something must be wrong with you then if none of these tips helped you lose weight.. and i don’t mean that in a mean way. I’m just saying that these are all sound, nutritionist reccommended tips and they have worked for me. so…idk don’t get mad at her because your body isn’t cooperating with your efforts.
