THE South Beach diet plan was developed for obese patients by an American cardiologist in Florida, Dr Arthur Agatston. He supports the consumption of mostly “good carbohydrates” and “good fats.” The South Beach diet is often being confused or compared to the Atkin’s diet which was developed by the late Dr Atkin. The Atkin’s Diet is mainly a low-carbohydrate dieting system.... To prevent these two conditions, The South Beach diet minimizes consumption of bad fats and bad carbohydrates and instead push for the replacement of these unhealthy food with good fats and good carbs. The South Beach Diet is a 3 step process. In all 3 steps of the diet, Dr. Agatston recommends minimizing consumption of bad fats. The South Beach Diet Step 1 - During the first two weeks, weight loss dieters try to eliminate insulin resistance by avoiding high or moderately high-glycemic carbs, such as sugar, candy, white bread, potatoes, fruit, cereals, and refined grains such as white rice. During this step, the body will lose its insulin resistance and begin to use excess body fat for energy, thus the dieter will lose weight rapidly as much as up to 10 pounds during this step.
