South Beach Diet Plan
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.
