Review Summary:The South beach Diet is a lot about learning to make healthy meal choices. A few week into the program and you'll be making those choices on your own. Pros: A three stage diet program that takes you by the hand guides you all the way. You'll learn to cook healthy and change you eating habits with all the new recipes and dishes you'll be creating. Cons: If you don't like to cook, this program is not for you. There is a heavy emphasis on creating your own meals.

If living good and enjoying the food that you eat is your cup of tea then the South Beach diet could be just for you. The diet is divided into three sections or phases as they like to call them. Phase 1. Lasting just two weeks this is the shortest phase of the program. It's designed to do away with your cravings for sugary foods as well as those refined starches. During this phase you will stabilize your blood sugar - which minimizes those munches. This is a great diet for those that are type 2 diabetics or pre-diabetic, along with those who just want to get rid of a lot of weight. During this period the focus is on eating fiber-rich, nutrient-dense foods that fill you up and eliminate the munches. You have your choice of fish and seafood, white meat and skinless poultry and lean cuts of beef. For the vegetarians there is tofu and beans. Fiber rich veggie's, low fat cheeses, eggs, dairy products low in fat, unsaturated fats, like those found in avocados, great tasting nuts and of course seeds, and extra virgin olive oils are allowed. How does chicken breast, stuffed with goat cheese and spinach, or Salmon seared with pecans accompanied by lentils sound? They are both in your choices for phase 1. The South Beach Diet doesn't skimp on snacks, as a matter of fact they stress the use of snacks. Don't forget the dessert! Each day you will dine on dessert like chilled espresso custard or one of the other great options during this first phase. This description of phase 1 sounds more like an advertisement for a gourmet meal rather than a diet review. Phase 2 If you have less than ten pounds to lose and your in control of the munches then this would be the place for you to start. You'll eat every thing in phase 1 plus you'll start to add in the "good carbs" like whole grain bread and pasta, brown rice and a lot more veggie's like sweet potatoes and peas. Some of the desserts during phase 2 are green tea truffles, dark chocolate bark with walnuts, and chocolate berry cups. The greatest part is you're eating like a gourmet and still losing weight. Phase 3 By the time you have reached this point you're an old hand at making smart food choices that compliment your way of life. This phase begins when you reach your healthy weight. Because this stage is a life long stage almost every food you can think of is included in this phase and there is even room for an occasional stray. Some of the decadent choices during this third phase include
Asian chicken salad with wonton crisps, chicken pot pie or how
about Dutch apple pancakes for brunch. The side dishes, snacks
and desserts are equally decadent. Anyone for chocolate pie
with peanut butter crust? The South Beach Diet is full of surprises. I was astounded at all the perks that you get for $5 a week. That's after your first week which is free. Here's a partial list of what's included: 1. A personal meal planner and nutrition tool This is just a sampling of what you get for only $5 a week.
