Developed by Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, the South Beach Diet has long been existing since the 1990s. It’s the result of Dr. Agatston’s investigation on alternative diet for his clients who are not responding well to the standard low-fat diet set by the American Heart Association.
South Beach Diet is comprise of 3 phases: Banishing Your Cravings, Reintroducing Carbs, and A Diet for Life. During the first phase (Banishing Your Cravings), you will be taught on how to get rid of cravings and foods that cause a surge of blood sugar level. The second stage (Reintroducing Carbs) involves the application of South Beach Diet principles and the introduction of ‘good’ carbs in your diet for a steady, sustainable weight loss. And lastly, on the third stage (A Diet for Life), will help you on how to continue with the diet so that you can incorporate it in your lifestyle.

Final thoughts on SouthBeachDiet.com
The South Beach Diet has gained thousands of loyal customers not just because it’s medically-endorsed but more importantly because it works for many. While it’s a good thing that it has added the element of fitness, it seems that it has the same problem with other weight loss programs and that is the lack of conjunction between the fitness and diet programs. The program though is highly commendable for its very good customer support that keeps its customers motivated.
