Are you a heart patient? Are you afraid to follow any diet plan to lower your weight?

Don’t worry; you can follow a south beach diet to become healthier and to lose some weight.

Most of the people prefer the south beach diet to ever popular Atkins diet phases. This is due to the mentioning of carbohydrates in the diet plan.

Though there are some limits in the carbohydrates that you eat in the beginning, this will subside in the end.

The basic idea behind the south beach diet is in order to be healthy you need to find a balance between the carbohydrates and fats that you eat.

Instead of eliminating the foods from your diet, you are taught to eliminate only the bad carbohydrates and fats, while continuing to eat the good ones.

South beach diet is not based on low carb diet plan. It actually encourages you to eat what it considers to be the good carbs. South beach diet plan consists of three phases.

Phase 1 - For first 2 weeks

The first south beach diet runs for two weeks. During this phase you will have to eliminate carbohydrates completely and also alcohol, baked foods, bread, fruit, pasta, potatoes, rice, and sugar.
