Juliette's verdict on the South Beach diet - South Beach Diet Review
In general, the South Beach Diet SBD only requires serious willpower for the first two weeks during SBD South Beach Diet Phase One. Nevertheless, this South Beach Diet phase is extremely restrictive and the recommended weight loss of up to 13lb worries me. While most of us would love to lose almost a stone in a fortnight, it's not a healthy way to lose weight and unfortunately, it's likely to go straight back on once you return to less restricted eating habits. And that's not just bad for your waistline - but also for your moral!
Once you get past the South Beach Diet initial phase, however, there are fewer dietary restrictions than some other diet plans. No major food groups are eliminated, plenty of South Beach Diet fruit and veg are recommended and generally the South Beach diet follows the basic principles of healthy eating with the result that it should provide plenty of the nutrients you need to stay healthy.
I like diets based on the principles of the Glycaemic Index and South Beach certainly fits in with this (although I'm less keen on South Beach Diet Phase One, which eliminates all carbs). Meanwhile, there's no starving or fasting involved and it takes heart health into consideration.
In the long term, this is one of the better diets - especially if you avoid SBD South Beach Diet Phase One and start on South Beach Diet Phase Two. Nevertheless, it's guaranteed to be a hit this summer with all the wannabe beach babes!
