The 3 Phase South Beach Diet
How To Lose 8 - 13 lbs. in 2 Weeks
|
The South Beach Diet is not a low carbohydrate, nor is it a low fat diet. The South Beach Diet teaches you to rely on the right carbohydrates and the right fats - the good ones, and enables you to live quite happily without the bad carbohydrates and bad fats. As a result, you're going to get healthy and lose weight somewhere between 8 and 13 pounds in the first two weeks alone. Here's how you'll do it: Phase 1 - Banish Your Cravings What you'll eat: In Phase 1, you will eat normal-size helpings of meat, chicken, turkey, fish, and shellfish. You'll have plenty of vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You'll have salads with real olive oil in the dressing. You'll have three balanced meals a day, and it will be your job to eat so that your hunger is satisfied. Nothing undermines a weight-loss plan more than the distressing sensation that you need more food. No sane eating program expects you to go through life feeling discomfort. You'll be urged to have snacks in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon, whether you want to or not. You'll have dessert after dinner. You'll drink water, of course, plus coffee or tea if you wish. What you won't eat: For the first 14 days you won't be having any bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. Not even fruit. Don't panic, you will begin to add those things back into your diet again in two weeks. But for right now, they're off-limits. No candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, or sugar for two weeks, either. No beer or alcohol of any kind. After this phase, you'll be free to drink wine, which is beneficial for a variety of reasons. Not a drop during the first two weeks, however. The cravings for these foods will virtually disappear during the first week. We say this with such confidence only because so many people who have already succeeded on this program tell us so. The South Beach Diet may be new to you, but it has been around for several years, long enough to have helped hundreds of people lose weight easily and keep it off. Phase 2 - Reintroduce Carbohydrates How you'll change: After two weeks, you will be somewhere between 8 and 13 pounds lighter than you are today. Most of that weight loss will be visiable around your midsection. You will notice the difference in your clothes. It will be easier to zip up your jeans and button that blazer. But this will be just the noticeable difference. What you won't be able to see during those two weeks is how you'll have changed internally. You will have corrected the way your body reacts to the very foods that made you overweight. By modifying your diet, you have altered your cravings. The physical cravings that ruled your eating habits will be gone, and they will stay away for as long as you stick with the program. The weight loss doesn't happen because you're trying to eat less. It will happen because you'll be eating fewer of the foods that created those old bad urges, fewer of the foods that caused your body to store excessive fat. What you'll eat now: As a result of that change, you will continue losing weight after the 14-day period ends; even though you will have started adding some of those banished foods back into your life. You'll still be on a diet, but if it's bread you love, you'll have bread. If it's pasta, you'll reintroduce that. Rice, cereal, potatoes, and fruit will all be back. Chocolate? If it makes you feel good, sure. You will have to pick and choose which of these indulgences you permit yourself. You won't be able to have all of them all the time. You'll learn to enjoy them a little differently than before, perhaps a little less enthusiastically. But you will enjoy them again soon. You'll remain in Phase 2 and continue losing weight until you reach your goal. How long it takes depends on how much you need to lose. People lose, on average, a pound or two a week in Phase 2. Once you hit your target, you'll switch to an even more liberal version of the program, which will help you to maintain your ideal weight. Phase 3 - A Diet for Life This is the stage that lasts the rest of your life. When you get to this point, you'll notice that this plan feels less like a diet and more like a way of life. You'll be eating normal foods in normal-size portions. You can then feel free to forget all about the South Beach Diet, as long as you remember to live by its few basic rules. The final change: As you're losing weight and altering how your body responds to food, a third change will be taking place. This change will significantly alter your blood chemistry for a long-term benefit of your cardiovascular system. You will improve invisible factors that only cardiologists and heart patients worry about. Thanks to this final change, you will maintain your health and vitality as you age. |
