An Idiot's Guide To The South Beach Diet Phase 1

By:


The South Beach Diet book became extremely successful when the diet book with the fitting name was published and grew with rapid succession among friends, families and fellow dieters. Each with dieting success stories to tell everyone 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 popularity, but the South Beach Diet Phase 1 continues to confuse readers.

The South Beach Diet Phase 1 is designed to be the shortest of phases 1, 2 and 3 of the diet, only lasting for a fourteen day period. It was created to be intense, kick-start your body and how you think about dieting from that point on. The opposite to readers' thinking and one of the harder to understand parts to Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, you don't have to hold yourself back only eating low carb foods.

In a nut-shell, Phase 1 force feeds you the thinking to: rid yourself of bad carbs that are not doing anything nutritionally for yourself, substitute the bad carbs that are abundant in most American diets with substantial amounts of protein, good fats and low glycemic index (G.I.) carbs that solves your hunger and balances your blood sugar.

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 1. A safe bet, if you should have any difficulty, is to ingest as much salad, greens, and (most) vegetables you want, as they are on target because of their nutritional benefit.

It's during Phase 1 that Doctor Agatston has proven that one's body resistance to insulin will decrease, thus depending on your current weight and current health, you may lose 7 to 8 pounds initially, even in the first 2 weeks right off the bat, as your body begins to eliminate excess body weight.

The major goal of the South Beach Diet Phase 1 is 2-fold: to throw you into a routine that you stick with that keeps you from being hungry and to plant a seed and the groundwork for a frame of mind that ensures you get rid of the bad foods and move toward the food that drops pounds, guarantee more energy and improve your quality of life.
