South Beach Diet – 22

The South Beach Diet, named after a posh Miami neighborhood, is a modified low-carbohydrate eating plan. It is a famous commercial weight-loss program first defined in the best-selling book “The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss” by cardiologist Arthur Agatston in 2003.

Compared to a regular diet, the South Beach Diet is higher in protein and good fats and lower in carbohydrates. It’s not, however, a rigid low-carb regimen. There are healthy carbs and fats, as well as unhealthy ones. The trick to losing weight is to pick the finest of each.
