Do you every wonder why South Beach diet plan is so popular yet many people doubt its efficiency? Just a bit of a background, this eating system is developed by Dr Arthur Agatston based on his patients' dietary requirement. These people have cardiovascular problems so Dr Agatston's diet promotes good fat and good carbohydrates for consumption of those with heart problems and Diabetes to avoid aggravation of the disease. The South Beach diet fairly worked and enhanced the health of those who have the problem.
It follows that the South Beach diet plan is mainly to focus on the health and weigh-loss comes the second priority. What it fails to work on people who reduce weight is further discussed.
Why South Beach Fails
The South Beach diet plan basically has three phases. Phase I is a two-week no carbs and no-fat diet, which means no meat, pasta, rice, bread, cereals and only poultry, seafood and lean meats. For two weeks, your goal is to refrain from eating foods that will get you overweight.
In Phase II, you take very few carbohydrates or limited and calculated servings of the foods you tried to avoid in the first two weeks. In phase III, the final phase, your body should have adjusted to the way of eating you started with South Beach diet plan.
Looking at it, South Beach diet plan offers promises good health and nice figure. However, it could take you years because you achieve them through the South Beach diet. Why years? Because it is meant to work long-term, many people tend to fail and relapse due to its strict diet monitoring and practice. Before you could approach the second week of Phase I, you are already stuffing hamburger and fries as you feel deprived.
Dieting does not have to be this hard unless you have heart problems or a candidate for Diabetes. If your only goal is to lose weight, you might as well opt for one that will not waste your time, money and effort. Settle for something that is not quite hard on your system especially if you are employed in a fast-paced environment where you need more energy to get through each day.
Why Fat Loss For Idiots is Effective
Contrary to the South Beach diet plan, Fat Loss For Idiots e-book teaches you another weight loss program that is also safe and guarantees results in barely 11 days. Absolutely no diet pills, working out and meticulous calorie counting are involved.
Fat Loss for Idiots is a cheap e-book that presents different menus to be taken for 11 days, four times a day. With it, you are spared of monitoring a strict food intake and disappointment for not completing the plan.
The approaches are simple and comprehensive with rules that are easier to follow that the other diet plans. After 11 days and you still want to shed some more pounds, you can take a three-day break from dieting again and continue for another 11 days of dieting until you achieve your ideal figure.
Because it is fast some people may think that it is not safe. Actually it is proven 100% safe to practice without having to grieve over not being able to eat what you want. If you want to find out more about this wonderful weight-loss technique, you can buy the e-book for details.
