In the now famous South Beach Diet trial, Dr. Arthur S. Agatston determined whether a diet using traditional caloric and saturated fat control with limited carbohydrate consumption would be more successful by replacing saturated fats with either: carbohydrates, monounsaturated fats and or protein. The South Beach Diet, originally referred to as the “modified low carbohydrate diet” (MLC) resulted in some startling results. Weight loss was significantly greater on the MLC diet than on the standard National Education Cholesterol Diet. The average weight loss for MLC was 13.6 lbs. versus 7.5 lbs. for the NECP diet. There were significant changes in all lipid levels within the subjects on the MLC. After twelve weeks there was no doubt that Dr. Agatston had identified a superior diet formula, The South Beach Diet.
The local TV affiliate of ABC-TV ran a month long series on diets which included the now famous South Beach Diet.
Dr. Agatston is a cardiologist and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Medical School. His South Beach Diet has helped thousands of overweight individuals lose weight and shrink their hip to waist ratio.
There are essentially three phases to the South Beach Diet.
In phase one the South Beach dieter restricts proteins to 28% of caloric consumption, carbohydrates to 10% and fats to 62% (13% saturated, 17% monounsaturated and 32% polyunsaturated).
In phase two of the South Beach Diet the dieter consumes 30% of their calories as protein, 27% as carbohydrate and 43% as fats (8% saturated, 18% monounsaturated, 17% polyunsaturated).
Phase three of the South Beach Diet consists of 33% protein, 28% carbohydrate and 39% fats (8% saturated, 17% monounsaturated, 14% polyunsaturated).
Phases one and two of the South Beach Diet each last two weeks. Phase three lasts eight weeks.
Regardless of your diet choice, the best way to start any diet is with the advantage of a preprogrammed outcome.
