SOUTH BEACH DIET-PHASES 2 & 3

Written by redbalmeo on 6:38 AM

For me, Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet is the fun part. It is in this South Beach Diet's phase that you get to introduce back to your diet, the food that you really love, only with slight modification and should be done gradually. You don't want a spike in your hunger pangs and start munching like there's no more tomorrow. In this second phase of the South Beach Diet, you will slowly introduce the food that you like. You should however take caution not to over indulge and be back to your old habit of eating too much carbohyrdates. When you messed up with the second phase of the South Beach Diet, you can go back to phase 1 where food choices are limited and from there, return again where you left off from phase 2.

Phase 3 of the South Beach diet is the maintenance stage. By now, you should have mastered the principles of South Beach diet: less bad carbs, more good carbs.

South Beach diet should be considered as part of lifestyle, instead of chore or something that you are forced to do, to be able to succeed.

Written by redbalmeo on 6:22 AM

This is the strictest part of the South Beach Diet But don't be misled. Just because it is the strictest and full of prohibition does not mean starvation. In fact, South Beach Diet encourages you to eat 3 regular meals per day plus additional snack.

There are only certain foods allowed during this first two weeks of the South Beach Diet phase 1. your meal should revolve around food that has no or little carbohydrates. No pasta, bread, fruits, and alcoholic beverage.

For breakfast, it is recommended that you eat eggs with 2 slices of bacon. For other days, you can have egg with ham and low fat chees (no pasta, bread, rice or any carbohydrates).

For lunch, it should be a choice of vegetables or salad with vinaigrette and olive oil as dressing. No mayo or other dressing. You can also eat it with grilled chicken, lamb or fish (not fried). No sodas or drinks with high sugar content. Fruits are no-no for the first two weeks

SOUTH BEACH DIET PRIMER

Written by redbalmeo on 6:01 AM

The South Beach Diet is a 3-phase weight loss program developed by Dr. Arthur Agatston, one of the leading cardiologists in the United States. His goal of helping people with heart problems led to the development of a diet that is both good for people who want to lose weight and at the same time, has good effects for the heart. South Beach diet focuses on eliminating bad carbs and replacing them with good carbs.

South Beach Diet is composed of three phases. The first phase, which is the strictest, focuses on prohibition of carbohydrates for the first two weeks. The second phase of the South Beach Diet starts to introduce back the food that the person, undergoing the diet, really loves. He emphasized that most diet programs fail because of their inability to recognize the behavior of most people undergoing diet-- craving for food that they really love. The third phase is the maintenance phase, which should be a lifestyle change. Dieters can still eat the food they love, but slightly modified.

SOUTH BEACH DIET -- LOSE WEIGHT SAFELY

Written by redbalmeo on 4:52 PM

I am not super fat. My BMI is normal. Somewhere around 23. By the way, for you who are not familiar with BMI, it's actually the acronym of Body Mass Index.



Body Mass Index (BMI) The most widely used measurement for obesity. The BMI
approximates body mass using a mathematical ratio of weight and height [(weight
in kg / height in meters2) or (weight in pounds / height in inches2 x 703)]. A
BMI of 30 or more is regarded by most health agencies as the threshold for
obesity. A BMI of 40 or more generally qualifies as morbid obesity. However,
note that BMI measurements in body-builders and athletes may not be accurate
determinants of obesity because the BMI does not distinguish between muscle and
fat. --taken from http://www.lapbandcanada.ca/glossary.asp



If I'm not fat, why do I want to be on a diet? Well, aside from the fact that I want to get leaner (which I think looks great), I want to be healthy. I've been eating a lot of junk that has put some toll on my body. Something which I believe will make me regret later on. I'm 22 years old and I am a chocoholic. I eat lots of sugar daily and I often order food from fastfood chains. Who would dare resist the food they offer? Those are the best tasting foods the world can ever offer. Well maybe those who have strong will can resist those food. But not me. I think that diet, as Garfield puts it is "die" with a t. I often equate it with eating green all your life.

The other day, when I was watching the television, I came upon a talk show that talks about diets. And the word south beach diet was mentioned and a brief story about it was also presented. I got intrigued by its promise that by two weeks, South Beach Diet can give you the shape you ever wanted. I tried searching the web for the word South Beach Diet and 3.5 Million articles showed up. Upon reading the first few articles, I decided that this week, I'll start on the South Beach Diet.

South Beach Diet is not about deprivation of food. It's not like other diet programs that force you not to eat. In fact, with South Beach Diet you can eat 3 regular meals and snacks. Plus, with South Beach Diet, you also get to introduce back to your diet, the food you really love. Amazing isn't it? I'm done reading the first phase (South Beach Diet by the way, has 3 phases) and I'm starting to go on this diet this week. I weigh about 70 kg. I'll update this blog after a week or two.
