Wine In Popular Diets - The South Beach Diet: - Sent using Google Toolbar

The South Beach Diet was started by a Miami, Florida, area cardiologist Arthur Agatston who developed this diet for his patients...

It emphasizes the consumption of good carbohydrates and good fats. According to the doctor, the excessive consumption of so-called bad carbohydrates makes it difficult for insulin to process fat and sugar. Too many bad fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats may increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease.

Good carbohydrates are high in fiber or high in good fats, and have a low glycemic index, which means they are digested and absorbed slowly. Preferred carbohydrates have more nutritional value than the alternatives. The South Beach Diet allows brown rice in moderation, but discourages white rice. When you eat carbohydrates, you should also eat fiber or fat to slow digestion of the carbohydrates. Good fats are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, especially those with omega-3 fatty acids. Saturated and trans fats are bad fats.
