The aim:

Weight loss, heart health.

The claim:

Most people lose 8 to 13 pounds within the first two weeks, the company says, though that number could be smaller depending on your start weight. From there on out, you’ll drop 1 to 2 pounds a week.

The theory:

There are good carbs and fats, and there are bad carbs and fats. The key to weight loss is choosing the best of each. That means lots of vegetables, fish, eggs, low-fat dairy, lean protein like chicken and turkey, whole grains, and nuts. South Beach is lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein and healthy fats than the typical American diet.
 

Best of all, you will see amazing results in a short amount of time. Your hips, thighs, and stomach will be thinner, the number on the scales will go down, and all those overwhelming food cravings will be gone! Just imagine losing weight while still enjoying many of your favorite foods.

 

How does the South Beach Diet work?

The diet unfolds in three “phases,” but if you have less than 10 pounds to lose, you can start with phase 2. Each phase becomes progressively less restrictive. The focus is on replacing bad carbs with good carbs and bad fats with good fats. There’s no counting calories, fat grams, carbohydrates, or anything else. You’ll eat three meals a day, plus two snacks, and one high-protein dessert (like maple-almond flan or creamy chocolate mousse). The diet lasts as long as you want—it depends on your weight-loss goal.

 

PHASE 1, the shortest and most restrictive, lasts two weeks and is intended to stabilize blood sugar and eliminate cravings. You’ll eat generous portions of lean protein (fish, shellfish, chicken, turkey, and soy); lots of vegetables, salads, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy; and up to 2 tablespoons a day of healthy fats, such as nuts and extra-virgin olive oil. You won’t touch fruit, fruit juice, starches (including pasta, rice, and bread), whole grains, sugary foods, or alcohol. The South Beach Diet Supercharged, by South Beach creator and cardiologist Arthur Agatston, provides a detailed list of what you can and cannot eat.
 

Among the guidelines: Eat 4½ cups of vegetables and 2 cups of milk or dairy each day. Daily protein is unlimited. Even though phase 1 may melt off pounds, dieters are advised not to stay on it more than two weeks because it’s so restrictive.

 

In PHASE 2, you’ll reintroduce “good carbs,” like whole-grain bread, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, and fruit. You’ll have three servings of fruit and three servings of starches a day. The two daily snacks required in phase 1 are now optional, but encouraged; a glass of red or white wine with dinner is OK. You’ll stick with this phase until you reach your weight goal.
 

PHASE 3, the maintenance phase, is your lifelong healthy way to eat. No food is off-limits. Guidelines advise eating 3 pieces of fruit a day, 3 to 4 servings of starches, and no more than 2 tablespoons of good fats, sch as mayonnaise or margarine.
