South Beach
From sunny Florida comes the South Beach diet. This one has the right
idea and wrong approach
combination down pat. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people have managed
to lose weight with this diet
and it actually works. But the question is: can you really stick to it? The first
phase of the diet will
eliminate most foods containing carbohydrates from your daily consumption.
Fortunately, this phase
lasts two weeks. Unfortunately, second phase focuses on a half-hearted
return of whole grains and fruits
and lasts… as long as necessary. If reaching the desired weight takes you
one year, then that’s exactly
how long this phase is going to last. And if you don’t like the foods allowed
by this diet then you’re out of
luck. There are no alternatives.
As you can see from this short review, there are a lot of diets out there,
dozens more than we have been
able to cover here. The best thing to do when choosing a diet is to do as
much research as possible.
See what people who tried it have to say. Then seek the professional advise
of a doctor and/or dietitian
to see what they have to say about it. You should pay special attention to
what the doctors have to say.
If they tell you a certain diet will put your body to risk then do your research
before trying it.
