South Beach Recipes

 

South Beach, as you may know, is another popular diet fad on earth. It was developed by Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiac physician who has treated patients with heart disease. This diet plan works basically in a number of phases, just like Atkins. It starts out restricting amounts of saturated fats and most types of carbohydrates. But over the course of the plan, sources of carbohydrates are progressively added and only little amount of saturated fat is considered on the final phase. This process is considered to monitor the level of carbs consumed in order to maintain the target weight.

If you are living on the South Beach, here are some of the best low carb recipes you can prepare:
