The Good Carb Diet: 350 Delicious South Beach Diet Recipes

The South Beach Diet is truly a food lover's diet. It's about living well and loving what you eat. But it's also practical, flexible, easy, and effective. The South Beach Diet plan is divided into three Phases.  A three-phase plan that has been likened to the low-carbohydrate Atkins program because during the first two weeks, South Beach eliminates most carbs, including bread, pasta, potatoes, fruit and most dairy products. 


In Phase 2, healthy carbs, including most fruits, whole grains and dairy products are gradually reintroduced, but processed carbs such as bagels, cookies, cornflakes, regular pasta and rice cakes remain on the list of foods to avoid or eat rarely. Ditto for carrots, corn, bananas, raisins, pineapple, fruit juice and watermelon. This phase lasts until the weight goal is reached. 


In Phase 3, adherents are urged to stick mostly with the same foods as in Phase 2.  The South Beach program is based largely on reducing or eliminating foods with a high glycemic index, a measure of the rise in blood sugar after eating a particular food. 


This book also includes 350 delicious recipes.  With this cookbook, you can eat well and live healthy at the same time.
