Once you join The South Beach Diet™ Online, you'll receive a complete daily list of suggested meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and two snacks. No matter whether you're in Phase 1, Phase 2, or Phase 3, you'll get delicious, healthy food ideas that will satisfy you while you're losing weight and getting healthier. Are you a vegetarian? It's also easy to follow the diet while excluding meat!
The strictest part of the diet, Phase 1 is designed to help you get rid of your cravings. You'll stay in this Phase for two weeks, kick-starting your weight loss while learning to avoid processed snacks and other unhealthy foods.
During Phase 1, you'll eat foods such as lean meats, chicken, turkey, fish, and shellfish (vegetarians can enjoy meat substitutes and tofu), along with eggs, cheese, nuts, beans, and plenty of vegetables.
Once you've kicked your cravings, it's time to reintroduce good carbs such as fruit and whole-grain breads and pastas. Many dieters get nervous about this stage of the diet - they think that reintroducing carbs might reverse the weight loss they've seen. But The South Beach Diet™ is meant to be a healthy plan you can follow for life, so it's essential that you learn how to work carbs back into your lifestyle.
You'll follow Phase 2 until you reach your weight-loss goal.
Once you reach your weight-loss goal, it's on to Phase 3 where you'll continue following the principles of The South Beach Diet™ that you learned in Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 3 isn't about abandoning the diet and eating anything you want - it's about continuing to make smart, healthy food choices.
