I have listened to a lot of people and they tell me they are succeeding in losing the excess weight with the latest fad diets.
One of the biggest successes among these popular diets is the South Beach Diet.
But what is real score behind this fad diet from South Beach? Nutritionists all over the world agree that the South Beach Diet is a very good type of diet.
Designed by cardiologist Arthur Agatston, and Marie Almon, this type of diet is based on the principle of replacing bad carbs and bad fats with good carbs and good fats.
As a matter of fact, many claim that this diet is the healthier version of the Atkins diet.
Unlike the Atkins diet where there is no defined limitation to protein and fat consumption, the South Beach diet limits the intake of fats.
The diet promotes vegetables and soups as part of the meals.
The only problem with following the diet is that it had become expensive as it was exploited by marketing experts for financial gains.
This had resulted to the popularity of the South Beach diet being short-lived and hyped up.
Adapting to the diet also requires drastic lifestyle changes.
Carbohydrates like grains are exchanged for vegetables.
However, this seem attractive and effective to most people looking forward to lose weight.
Thus, the follower of this fad diet remained loyal.
Just remember that losing weight does not necessarily mean you are really getting healthier.
Regardless of the fad diet you are following, do not simply rely on your diet.
Incorporate exercise to your weight loss program in order to lose weight properly.
