The South Beach Diet Phase One

by Jackie Black

The South Beach Diet book became tremendously successful when the diet book with the obvious name was finally published and picked up with rapid succession among a grassroots following. Each with their own dieting success stories to tell everyone about, the South Beach Diet book, officially titled as, The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss, is still growing in popularity, but The South Beach Diet phase one keeps confusing readers.

The South Beach Diet phase one is designed to be the shortest of phases 1, 2 and 3 of the diet, lasting for a 14 day period. It was created to be confrontational, kick-start your body and how you think about how you diet from that now on. The opposite to readers' thinking and one of the stickier parts to Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, you do not have to hold yourself back only eating low carb foods.

In a nut-shell, Phase 1 instills in you the thinking to: get rid of bad carbs that are not providing anything nutritionally for yourself, replace the bad carbs that are found in surplus in most American diets with ample amounts of protein, good fats and low glycemic index (G.I.) carbs that solves your hunger and regulate your blood sugar balance.

Foods that cause you more harm rather than benefit: fruit, candy, cereal, potatoes, grains, etc. all are to be eliminated, or the dieter must phase themselves off of during The South Beach Diet phase one. If in doubt, if you should have any confusion, is to ingest all the salad, greens, and (most) vegetables you desire, as they are on target because of their nutritional benefit.

It is during this South Beach Diet Phase that Doctor Agatston has proven that your body's resistance to insulin will lower, thus depending on your current weight and current health, you may lose 7 to 13 pounds initially, just in the first two weeks right off the bat, as your body begins to eliminate excess body weight.

The major goal of The South Beach Diet phase one has two objectives: to throw you into a routine that you stick with which keeps you from being hungry and to plant a seed and the groundwork for a mindset that ensures you rid yourself of the bad foods and move towards the food that sheds pounds, deliver energy and better your quality of life.

Finding no b.s. health content and good for you resources about the healthy lifestyle you want to work towards, is not rocket science. No matter your interest: from rewarding yourself with abanana strawberry smoothie to how to eat yourself thinner, you name it. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is not sacrificial, or at all challenging if you don't want it to be, nor do you have to sacrifice all the tastes, fun and adventure you seek out now as much of the time, is the myth.
