About South Beach
South Beach focuses on lean proteins, healthy fats, and high‑fiber carbohydrates, phasing in carbs from lower glycemic sources over time. It’s designed to be balanced and heart‑conscious.
Center meals on vegetables, fish or poultry, legumes, and whole grains, and use olive oil, nuts, and avocado. Limit refined carbs and sweets; emphasize fiber and flavor from whole foods.

- What fats and carbs fit best?
- Choose unsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts) and high‑fiber carbs (vegetables, beans, intact whole grains).
