South Beach Diet

The South Beach diet was developed by a cardiologist, Arthur Agatston, practicing in the Miami, Florida area. This way of eating is frequently confusingly compared to the Atkins diet, which is a low-carbohydrate diet, while the South Beach Diet emphasizes so-called "good carbohydrates", mainly ones that are high in fiber or nutrition, and typically low in glycemic index. The South Beach diet was first developed for cardiac patients to lose weight without risking ketosis.
