The single biggest killer in the developed world, leave alone the United States, is obesity and heart disease. This is why more and more people today are conscious about the food they eat and how it affects their body and just about every person who wants to shed excess weight is into dieting.
Dieting is eating select foods in regulated amounts while avoiding certain harmful foods. One of the latest diet fads to hit America is the South Beach Diet. This diet involves the application of tried and tested principals that work best to help a person lose weight without affecting their nutritional needs. The south beach diet plan isn't a low-fat or low-carb diet. In reality it teaches participants to consume "healthy" carbohydrates and fats. It forms a habit which not only helps participants to lose weight but it also lowers their risk of heart disease and diabetes, reduces cholesterol and it does this without making that person feel any hunger pangs. The person responsible for formulating the South Beach Diet plan is Dr. Arthur Agatston, MD.
Dr. Agatston is a cardiologist who was motivated to create a healthy eating plan that would help improve the insulin and cholesterol levels of his patients.
The south beach diet is divided into three separate phases and recommends the consumption of different foods for each phase. Each phase consists of a list of foods that you may eat in as part of your daily meals. It's a plain fact that breakfast is not only the first meal of the day but also the most important meal as well. This is because breakfast is the fuel that keeps our bodies running all day long. You can include some tasty yet healthy breakfast recipes in your south beach diet. Here is a breakfast recipe that you can eat in all the three phases of your south beach diet: SOUTH BEACH DIET BREAKFAST RECIPE: Cheesy Ham Omelet- Ingredients: Two Eggs, Two Teaspoon Fat-Free Milk, One Teaspoon Thin Green Onion Slices, Three Slices of Thinly Sliced Smoked Ham, One-Fourth cup of Shredded Reduced Fat Milk Cheddar Cheese and Pepper to taste.
