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.

FAQs

How do South Beach phases work?
Phase 1 limits higher‑glycemic carbs; later phases reintroduce whole‑grain and fruit portions while keeping lean proteins and healthy fats.
What fats and carbs fit best?
Choose unsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts) and high‑fiber carbs (vegetables, beans, intact whole grains).
