Answer 2

Low or healthy carbs in small amounts. It does not contain as high fat as Atkins. It is much healthier. If u are not sure what to eat buy the frozen south beach diet meals for a week and try that.

Answer 3

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Well ok. Most trainers don't like that south beach diet. What happens is it's like a modified version of the adkins Diet. Phase 1. Is the first two weeks. This helps you get in control of your cravings ( of negative foods);; you can eat things such as salads and wholsome foods. it keeps you eating right. It gets you to eat full meals. 3 meals a day. You can eat vegitables and eggs. cheese and nuts. You can eat chicken, well cooked beef,fish and shrimp. it teaches you to eat in moderations. So your eating to live not living to eat.
It takes out bad sugars and carbs. although some fruits * which it wants you to take out* are good to keep inyour diet. it is just taking out sugars, some gluclose and carbs things your body makes into fat deposit faster than you can burn. So it helps you start to burn off fat and build mucsle. cutting carbs and high sugaar foods help take off fat because it alows you to burn some but the phase II helps you add in some of the thingsu cut out slowly so not to gain alot..working out is good....

But to be honest it isnt that good of a diet

go see a nutritionist. and have them help you out as well as consult your family dr.
go to a gym and get a trainer a lot better than FAD diet.
