The newest craze in Miami, now sweeping the diet world, is Dr. Agatston's South Beach Diet - an eating plan that is the very latest in diet technology, combining the most successful elements from previous fad diets.
A respected cardiologist, Dr. Agatston was inspired by the failing health of his patients and their lack of success on various other diets, and decided to create his own - a diet people could stick to, and, if followed properly, could promote weight loss and maintain a healthy heart.
This eating plan works in three separate phases.

During the first fortnight on the diet, participants will be challenged by a strict induction to the eating plan. This includes a heavy restriction on all carbohydrates, and can be a grueling process. It is, however, essential to start the diet this way, and will promote rapid weight loss.
The majority of the weight lost during the first two-week period will be water loss, and thus weight is likely to fluctuate in the weeks afterwards. However, at the beginning of the second stage, participants are encouraged to battle unhealthy food cravings, so they can eat freely and healthily.
Concentration and commitment is paramount. The South Beach Diet has been intricately designed and must be followed exactly in order for fantastic results to be achieved.
Before taking part, ask yourself whether you can cope with the two week induction, and what being slim is worth to you. You should consult with a doctor, particularly if you have any food in tolerances or existing health problems, to ensure that this diet will benefit you.
Once the third phase begins, participants will be slimmer and free from their unhealthy food cravings, and with their appetite under control. They will be free to start enjoying the third stage, a healthy balanced lifestyle they can enjoy the benefits of forever. This includes an eating plan to suit you, and exercise is encouraged.
This eating plan doesn't try to restrict you to minimal portion sizes, on the contrary, the founder Dr. Agatston recommends that participants eat until satisfied, providing they minimize the intake of unhealthy food and stick to things in the "Can Eat" list.
The success of any diet lies in the application. The way you follow this diet is critically important. If followed properly, it can prove successful in creating a slimmer, healthier you. However, the importance of following the steps exactly cannot be stressed enough. Smoking, drinking and recreational drug use can be detrimental to the effectiveness of the diet, and so is strongly discouraged.
In the end, the South Beach Diet can help you to achieve a lifestyle you can be comfortable with, but it is a long journey that requires willpower and dedication.
