The South Beach Diet Phase One

by on December 31, 2007

The South Beach Diet book became seriously successful when the diet book with the obvious name was published and picked up with fast succession among a dedicated inner circle. Armed with their own dieting success stories to brag 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, continues to grow in readership, but The South Beach Diet phase one keeps confusing readers.

The South Beach Diet phase one is designed to be the shortest of all phases of the diet, only lasting for a 2 week period. It was created to be in your face, kick-start your body and how you think about eating from that now on. The opposite to popular thinking and one of the harder to understand 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: rid yourself of bad carbs that are not doing anything nutritionally for yourself, replace the bad carbs that are abundant in the American diet with ample amounts of protein, good fats and low glycemic index (G.I.) carbs that entertain your hunger and regulate your blood sugar balance.

Foods that do more harm 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 difficulty, just ingest all the salad, greens, and (most) vegetables you want, as they are on target for nutritional benefit.

It’s during Phase 1 that Doctor Agatston has proven that one’s body resistance to insulin will lower, so depending on your body weight and current health, you may lose 6 to 13 pounds initially, initially in the first 2 weeks alone, as your body begins to eliminate surplus body weight.

The major purpose of The South Beach Diet phase one two fold: to push you into a routine that you can manage that keeps you feeling full and to lay the groundwork for a frame of mind that ensures you get rid of the bad foods and gravitate towards the food that will shed pounds, guarantee more energy and improve your lifestyle.

If you want real talk about healthy living, there’s no independently operated health web site is better for telling it like it is and minus the typical rhetoric than HealthyLivingStraightTalk.com, especially when it means turning the often confusing subjects into simple ones.
