No matter what you have to do, follow the food map carefully. You have to learn the GI list very well. Many foods that may look and actually be nutritious are high in GI. For e.g. carrots and beetroot are packed with nutritious values, but are pretty high in the Glycemic Index. However, carrots stay off the list in the south beach diet, coming back into the system in a slower process later, but beetroot is never included. Similarly, sugar and sugar heaped white flour are a stable no-no in the South Beach diet. Having any processed or packaged food with sugar derivatives will also completely defeat the purpose of the efforts you will be putting in this program.

I admit it. I’m addicted to chocolate. It can be almost any kind of chocolate from Reese’s peanut butter cups to Lindt’s 85% pure cocoa dark chocolate. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to find out that chocolate was not really harmful to my health. Well, it’s true. If you eat the right kind of chocolate and in tiny portions.
The aforementioned peanut butter cups would not be among the healthy chocolate selections. However, small amounts of dark chocolate are filled with antioxidants and are good for you. These are the same types of antioxidants as might be found in red wine, for example. (Yes, red wine can also be healthy!)
Just be sure that you keep your portion size small. Take a small bite and savor every ounce of the flavor. Let it melt in your mouth. A small piece of the richest dark chocolate can be very satisfying to the chocolate lover, and thankfully, healthy.

The south beach diet plan is a diet plan started by Miami, Florida-area cardiologist Arthur Agatston which emphasizes the consumption of “good carbs” and “good fats”. Dr. Agatston developed this diet for his cardiac patients based upon his study of scientific dieting research. Dr. Agatston believes that excess consumption of so-called “bad carbs”, such as the rapidly-absorbed carbohydrates found in foods with a high glycemic index, creates an insulin resistance syndrome-an impairment of the hormone insulin’s ability to properly process fat or sugar.

If you have a weight problem, you know how easy it is not to do anything about it. Especially if your weight problem is caused by psychological problems. Many people with psychological problems that cause their weight gain are prime candidates for obesity and all the horrible health problems that come along with it. However, there is no magic pill to cure their obesity.
Many obese people think that surgery will cure their problem. So they pursue lap band or gastric bypass surgeryin the hopes that it will cure their weight problem. But if they suffer from mental problems and/or addictions, the surgery will not help by itself. They will also need to attend psychological counseling to overcome their problems along with weight loss surgery. Many surgery centers screen for these problems and manygastric bypass surgeons will not accept a surgical candidate unless they first complete counseling.
