Sample The South Beach Diet

The South Beach Diet is divided into 3 phases and starts with restricting consumption of certain foods from your diet, which are reinstated into your diet towards the end i.e. after some results are identified clearly.

So, the first phase is actually the toughest, spread across 2 weeks during which men on the South Beach Diet are required to cut off most carbs, especially those that have a high glycemic content (e.g. rice, potatoes, pastries, white bread, pasta, liquor, candy, ice-cream and sugary stuff).

This is balanced out by filling, wholesome and high-protein food items like lean meat (chicken, fish, eggs, shell-fish etc.) besides fresh, green veggies cooked in olive oil. Chicken brushed with olive oil and spicy peppers baked in the oven are one of the suggested dietary meals during phase 1 where fruit too is not allowed!

By following the first phase of the South Beach diet, most men have reported lost 10 to thirteen pounds, which its creator, Dr. Agatston, says is due to the fact that phase 1 controls any cravings for bad carbohydrates one may have!

In the next phase, there are lesser restrictions on what you eat and so the weight loss goals are also modest (just 2-3 pounds per week); good carbs like whole grain breads, sweet potatoes, brown rice and limited amounts of pasta besides some fruit is slowly brought back to your diet with the occasional treat of chocolate and wine.

Broccoli stir-fried in olive oil or breast of chicken with lemon are some options in the 2nd phase of the South Beach Diet.

In the final phase, you will have likely lost 15 – 20 pounds. Since you’re closer to your target weight and hopefully adapted to it like a lifestyle choice, you are now allowed a little more chocolate, wine or alcohol in moderation; foods for Phase 3 of the South Beach Diet may include a few slices of roast beef and apricots dipped in chocolate for dessert besides red onion and spinach wraps.
