Details

• The South Beach Diet by Dr Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist located in the Miami Beach Florida area, added approximately 4,000 vegetarians to his diet website with meatless meal plans and recipes.
• Low carb has been traditionally high in protein from meat sources exclusively; however there are vegetarian alternatives for the protein.
• Which do you think has the largest percentage of protein 1 large egg, 1 cup serving of pinto beans, or 1 cup of alfalfa sprouts?
• The serving of Alfalfa sprouts contain 5.1 grams (with 35% protein of composition being protein), the pinto beans 14 grams, while the egg contains just 6 grams of protein.
• Following the popularity of the book, his website followed up with online diet help.
• Dieters are allowed to eat dairy and eggs, so long as they follow the low-fat rule.
• The first 2 weeks of The South Beach Diet has restrictions in the amount of carbohydrates eaten.
• It is very similarly structured to the Atkins diet's induction phase, but The South Beach Diet choices are low-fat protein servings with a few more selections of vegetables.
• The greatest amount of weight is lost in the first 2 weeks.
• In the second phase you slowly add back some of the carbohydrates, although you can stay on this phase for as long as you need to lose weight.
• The third phase is the maintenance phase where you transition from a diet phase to a life long diet phase.
• Vegetarians are as likely to be overweight today, because of processed foods.
• Just because it is vegetarian does not mean it is good for you, and many have gained extra weight from eating the same processed foods like non-vegetarians.
• The South Beach Diet, whether in the regular or unleaded version, is intended as a life long commitment.
