Lose Weight with The South Beach Diet Online
Read More.......... How It Works
 Phase 1, the shortest Phase, lasts for
just two weeks and is designed to
eliminate cravings for sugar
and refined
starches -
and to jump-start your weight
loss. The purpose of Phase 1 is to
stabilize blood sugar
(which minimizes
cravings),
making it ideal for people
who are prediabetic or diabetic, as well
as for those
who need to lose a lot of
weight.
The focus of this two-week period is
on eating plenty of nutrient-dense,
fiber-rich (and guaranteed
delicious!)
foods that
satisfy your
appetite. Your meals include lean
protein, such as fish and other
seafood; skinless
white-meat
poultry,
and lean cuts of beef
(vegetarians can enjoy meat
substitutes, tofu, and beans);
high-fiber veggies; reduced-fat cheeses; eggs;
low-fat dairy; and
healthy, unsaturated fats,
such as
those found in avocados, nuts and
seeds, and extra-virgin olive and
canola oils.
During Phase 1, you'll fill up on
dishes like Chicken Breasts Stuffed
With Spinach and Goat Cheese, Seared
Pecan Salmon
With Lentils, Garlic
and Soy Grilled Pork Chops, and
more.
The South Beach Diet encourages
snacking, so you'll also get to
choose two tasty snacks each day,
like Spicy Nut Mix,
reduced-fat
cheese, and veggies with our zesty
Peanut Dip. Plus, you'll dine on
delicious
desserts (every day!),
including Chilled Espresso Custard,
Heavenly Lemon Mousse, and our famed
Ricotta Crème.
With all the options
-
from gourmet meals to on-the-go
snacks to quick weeknight dinners -
you won't feel hungry or deprived!
 Phase 2 is the long-term weight-loss
Phase of the plan. It's also the perfect
place to start for those people
who have
10 pounds or less to lose, who don't
have problems with cravings, who don't
have excess belly fat,
or who simply
want to
improve their health. In Phase 2, you'll eat everything in
Phase 1 plus good carbs, such as
whole-grain bread, brown rice,
whole-wheat pasta,
fruits, and even
more veggies, like sweet potatoes,
pumpkin, and peas.
Of course, you'll
continue to enjoy snacks and
dessert
too, including dark chocolate!
In fact, you'll eat delicious
meals, like Coconut Chicken, Shrimp
Scampi, Pesto Pasta Salad, and Pork
and
Black Bean Quesadillas.
Side
dishes include Nutty Brown Rice and
Baked Sweet Potato Fries. And don't
forget snacks: Smoked Salmon
Canapés
With Horseradish Cream,
Peppery
Cheese Popcorn, and black bean dip
with baked whole-grain
tortilla
chips are a few of the many snacks
you'll choose from.
Then, cap off your dinner with a
decadent dessert, like Green Tea
Truffles, Chocolate Berry Cups, or
Dark Chocolate Bark With Walnuts.
Best of all, you'll eat all these
delicious foods and still lose
weight and
get healthier.
 By now, you've adopted the South Beach
Diet lifestyle, making smart food
choices that fit the way you live.
That's what Phase 3 is all
about, and it
begins once you reach your healthy
weight. In Phase 3, you'll
continue to
follow the principles you learned in
Phases 1 and 2, but because it's the
lifelong stage of the
plan, it includes
almost every kind of food and it allows
for additional occasional indulgences.
It is the key to maintaining a healthy
weight for life. On Phase 3, you can dine on meals
like Dutch Apple Pancakes (a
terrific weekend brunch), Chicken
Pot Pie, Asian Chicken Salad
With
Wonton Crisps, and Pepper-Spiked
Beef Stew. Phase 3-friendly
sides
include Farmers' Market Pasta Salad,
Apple-Butternut Squash Soup, and
corn on the cob.
As for snacks, you
can choose from fare like Triple
Berry Cooler,
Pecan-Stuffed Dates,
and tropical fruit salad. And you'll
indulge in desserts like Chocolate
Pie With
Crispy Peanut Butter Crust
and Chocolate Fondue. Imagine eating
this way for the rest of your life!
