South Beach Diet
The foundation of the South Beach diet, which was developed by cardiologist Arthur Agatston in 2003, is picking "healthy" carbs and fats. You consume carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, which stabilize blood sugar levels and lengthen the feeling of fullness after meals.
Foods with a high GI, such as those with a lot of refined carbs, like sugar, should be avoided. Monounsaturated fats from foods like olive oil and avocado are encouraged, whereas trans-fats and omega-6 vegetable oils should be avoided.
The South Beach diet that is keto-friendly has even more fat and less protein and carbohydrates than the original version. Low carbs and high fat are both parts of the plan, but you don't have to be as stringent about restricting your carbohydrate intake, so you can eat a wider variety of foods. To experience the weight-loss advantages of the strategy, you do not need to enter or maintain ketosis.
