South Beach Diet Phase
|
South Beach Diet Phase One - Rapid Weight Loss This initial South Beach Diet phase lasts for two weeks. Most people should see a rapid weight loss during phase 1. Although this phase is the most restrictive of the diet, many people that have tried it have reported that the cravings for many of the prohibited foods disappear within the first few days. South Beach Diet Phase Two - Ongoing Weight Loss With this second phase of the diet, there are no set time limits as to how long you should remain on it. Dieters are advised to stay on phase 2 until they reach their goal weight. Weight loss during this phase slows down to 1-2 pounds per week. This is because many of the foods that were restricted in phase 1 are now re-introduced into the diet. South Beach Diet Phase Three - Maintenance This final phase of the diet is one that should last for life. By now you should have changed your eating habits for the better, both in the things you eat and the way you cook. Having trained yourself and your body to make healthier choices, you should now continue to eat healthily and maintain the weight loss. If you do indulge a little and some of the weight creeps back on, the diet recommends that you switch to phase 1 again for a short while until you have shed the extra pounds. The restrictions now are only to avoid highly processed food that contains ‘bad’ carbs and ‘bad’ fats and try and stick to the food that contains the ‘good’ ones. Your daily menus should be based around the healthy food types recommended throughout this diet, and you should continue to eat three well-balanced meals each day. |
