Basics of the South Beach Diet

Founded by Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston, the South Beach Diet focuses on teaching dieters to manage their weight by making responsible food choices. Although not promoted as strictly a “low-carb” or “low-fat” diet, the South Beach Diet aims to promote the consumption of good carbs and heart-healthy fats, making it more of a change in lifestyle rather than diet. The South Beach Diet is divided into three phases that target initial weight loss, meeting goals and healthy living.
