It was created in the 1990s by Dr. Arthur Agatston. Initially, it was a diet heavily limiting saturated fats and focusing on lean proteins with low GI (glycaemic index) carbs. GI is a measure showing how much the food will affect your blood sugar levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4994556\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, it was updated (or should I say upgraded) to a keto-friendly diet. It involves meals low in carbohydrates and high in proteins with healthy fats. It\u2019s wise to mention that this isn\u2019t a classic keto diet since the main point of it isn\u2019t ketosis (the usage of fats instead of carbs for energy).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main purpose of South Beach Diet meals is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and improve your overall condition by changing your dietary habits to keto-friendly one (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499830\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3945587\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This is intended to promote heart health (one of the major initial purposes since Dr. Agatston is a cardiologist), help you achieve non-hunger weight loss, and educate you on nutrition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/no-carb-no-sugar-diet-meal-plan\/\">No Carb No Sugar Diet Meal Plan: Is It Healthy For Weight Loss?<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_The_South_Beach_Diet_Work\"><\/span><strong>How Does The South Beach Diet Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The diet involves only complex carbs \u2013 whole grains, legumes, beans, etc. in limited amounts. Based on a typical 2,000-calorie per day meal plan, carbs should only make up not more than 30% of calories in the final phase, which is aimed at weight maintenance. The first two phases are more restrictive than this<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also educates on the quality and types of fats, encouraging you to consume more healthy monounsaturated ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, there are highlights on the importance of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains as great sources of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise is an important part of the newly updated South Beach lifestyle as it is an important factor in your health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing this, what foods are allowed on the South Beach Diet?

For busy people who don\u2019t have enough time to cook, this may be a good idea. However, preparing your meals yourself is more reliable since you will know exactly what you put in there and how much.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Is_This_Diet_For\"><\/span><b>Who Is This Diet For?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking to lose weight and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/mens-diet-plan-to-lose-belly-fat\/\">try to maintain it<\/a>, this may be the right choice.

But if you choose avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil, this downside can be eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the South Beach Diet meals include lots of vegetables, healthy fats, fiber, and high-quality proteins.

It\u2019s not bad, but I\u2019m an advocate of <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/pre-wedding-diet\/\">balanced eating<\/a>, which is a lifelong commitment. You start listening to your body and know what it needs and how much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After some time, it becomes not a diet but a lifestyle, which brings long-lasting results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you really need to lose weight fast without too <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/low-potassium-diet-menu\/\">many restrictions<\/a>, the South Beach Diet should be on your list.

She has a strong passion and the right skills for relaying hard-to-process information easily.

During her teenage years, she was caught in a cage \u2013 like many others \u2013 with all kinds of diets that break your stomach and only provide temporary results and mindless hours-long cardio that doesn\u2019t bear the best fruits of labor. Soon enough, she realized that something was off, and \u201cthin but dull\u201d wasn't what she wanted to be. From then on, Mary started learning. Now, she's a stereotype-free, healthy woman trying to inspire others to establish a connection with their bodies and improve physical and mental health. She shows that meal planning, exercising, stretching, and meditating don't have to be restricting and dull.

She has a strong passion and the right skills for relaying hard-to-process information easily. Moreover, she finds joy in helping others understand their bodies and be connected to them, which involves a lot of stereotype breaking. During her teenage years, she was caught in a cage \u2013 like many others \u2013 with all kinds of diets that break your stomach and only provide temporary results and mindless hours-long cardio that doesn\u2019t bear the best fruits of labor. Soon enough, she realized that something was off, and \u201cthin but dull\u201d wasn't what she wanted to be. From then on, Mary started learning. Now, she's a stereotype-free, healthy woman trying to inspire others to establish a connection with their bodies and improve physical and mental health. She shows that meal planning, exercising, stretching, and meditating don't have to be restricting and dull. Mary\u2019s three keywords for healthy weight loss and maintenance are diversity, consistency, and joy. Furthermore, her three keywords for a good article are research, structure, and entertainment.","url":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/author\/mariianosel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43461"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=43461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
