What to Eat on the South Beach Diet
The purpose of the south beach diet is to educate people to rely on
the right carbs and fats, and teach them to avoid the ‘bad’
ones. South beach diet also looks at the way we eat our food. It works
on the principle that weight gain is caused by sugars and starches
being absorbed into the bloodstream too quickly. Highly processed
foods, for example, are digested and absorbed very quickly by our
stomachs causing a surge in blood sugar and a craving for more carbs
and more food.
The diet encourages three meals a day, as well as regular healthy
snacks. Satisfying your hunger is an important part of the South beach
diet plan.
The South Beach Diet does not focus on just selecting low carbohydrate
foods, instead, it focuses on how foods effect your blood sugar
levels. This is measured by the glycemic index and this is what's
used to differentiate between good and bad carb foods.
You can have a better idea of what you can eat on the South beach
diet by looking the food
list.
