The South Beach Diet

About the Program

The South Beach Diet was designed by Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami. The diet program was originally introduced as a book. Several additional books and the companion website for the diet have been added to the program. The current main-diet book is The South Beach Diet Supercharged. The diet uses a lifestyle approach to dieting that teaches healthy eating habits and provides guidance for situations such as dining out and convenience foods.

Features

The program focuses on fat loss through a healthy diet with the goal of making healthy food choices a lifestyle. The South Beach Diet features 3 phases:

Phase 1) The introductory phase focuses on eliminating unhealthy eating habits and putting your body in a fat-burning mode. The goal of phase 1 is the stabilization of blood sugar through the near-elimination of sugar and refined starches. Dieters stay on this phase for 2 weeks.

Phase2) The second phase is the main stage of fat loss. The principals from phase 1 are continued with a much less restrictive diet plan. Dieters stay on this phase until they have reached their desired weight or level of fitness.

Phase 3) The third and final phase is a maintenance phase designed to keep off the weight lost in phases 1 and 2. This plan involves adopting a healthy lifestyle and maintaining the new, healthy weight.

 

The website offers several resources and tools that complement the orignal book's 3-phase approach to weight loss. A database of over 1000 recipes, support from registered dietitians, and discussion groups for the diet are all available as part of the website membership. The website also provides tracking tools for weight loss goals, a tool to create a customized meal plan, and a section dedicated to fitness that complements the diet. After a 7-day free trial, the website membership costs $5.00 per week.
