South Beach Diet Review
The South Beach Diet is definitely a diet for those who love food. 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 munchies. 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 munchies. 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 veggies, 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 munchies 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 veggies 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?
