A typical day

According to Dr A. Agatston, the immediate goal of the first day of Phase 1 is to keep the bloodstream relatively clean after a night's sleep. That is accomplished by not introducing bad carbohydrates into the system.

You can begin with a two-egg omelet fortified by two slices of lean bacon, cooked in olive or canola oil. You may yearn for your usual toast or bagel, but you should get your mind off bread. This is the first test and it may take a couple of days to break the habit of the usual morning dose of carbohydrates, but this is done to reverse the inability of the body to process sugars and starches properly, the condition at the root of most overweight problems.

Only the healthiest carbs are allowed -- those highest in fiber and nutrients and lowest in sugars and starches--vegetables and salads only, at least for 2 weeks. You can have coffee or tea if you like, with low-fat milk and sugar substitute.

Usually overweight people tend to skip breakfast altogether. Unfortunately, this makes blood sugar drop and hunger increase over the course of the morning. As a result people start craving for a lunch packed with bad carbs--the very kind guaranteed to keep you overweight. So, skipping breakfast is a bad idea, especially if you're trying to fight off obesity.

Planning Your Meals
Liberal use of eggs is recommended for breakfast, since it's been found that eggs contain no saturated fat and raise the good cholesterol along with the bad. The yolk is a good source of natural vitamin E and protein.

After two weeks, during the second phase of the diet, carbs are gradually reintroduced, even whole grain toast and English muffins, along with high fiber cereals. Fruit, too.

A midmorning snack is highly recommended.Cheese and yogurt are the only low-fat foods recommended for dieters, because they're the only ones that don't add bad carbs to replace the fats. The sugar is limited to lactose--milk sugar--which is an acceptable component of the South Beach Diet.

For lunch you may have a salad--lettuce and tomato mixed with grilled chicken or fish, dressed in olive oil. You may also have water or a drink containing no sugar. Another day you might choose grilled shrimp over a bed of greens, or a tomato stuffed with tuna salad.

The amount you eat should not be limited--the point of this diet is to eat well, as long as you keep to the right ingredients.

The pattern of these meals is evident: They're all combinations of healthy carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. They are normal, everyday dishes intended to fully satisfy your hunger while depriving your system of the low-quality sugars and starches .

Changing Your Thinking
In mid -afternoon, the first dangerous time of day you might normally crave a sugar fix, owing to the natural dip in blood sugar .This is when people tend to run to the coffee shop, the candy counter, or the vending machines.

Instead, nuts, such as plain almonds (not salted or smoked) are recommended. Nuts contain good, healthy fats, and they fill you up. But you should eat not more than 15 almonds or cashews, or about 30 pistachios,.

The staple dinner, recommended by the South Beach diet includes fresh vegetables, fish and lean meats.. So Phase 1 features dishes such as grilled salmon with lemon, roasted eggplant and a salad, chicken made with balsamic vinegar, or even marinated London broil and mushroom caps stuffed with spinach.

It is strongly recommend that you have dessert after that meal.
