Whats the South Beach Diet?
The South Beach Diet is a diet plan designed by cardiologist and a dietitian as an alternative to low-fat diets such as the "Omish Diet" and the "Pritikin Diet" which has been advocated by the American Hear Association since 1980. The original point of the South Beach Diet was to prevent heart disease, but the word quickly got out as a diet to loose weight.

This diet worked great for me. I also added in excersize and I had a great beach body in no time. I also feel much healthier and make better choices.

If we take out of of these foods how would be get the proper nutrients? This diet i have no faith that it will work. We need our every day proteins, carbs, and sugars to function properly.

I loved this diet. It worked wonders for me. I thought at first that afterI turned off of the diet I would gain all of it back, but i have been off for almost a year now and I have not gained a single pound.
