The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet plan created by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss regime for people who have cardiac problems, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other nutritional studies. Approved foods include, veal cutlets, turkey bacon, prawns, cottage cheese, pistachios, eggs and some vegatables, like artichokes, celery and spinach. Foods rich in lycopene (includes apricot, red bell peppers & tomatoes) The nutrient lypcopene is a natural coloring compound and one of the carotenid family. This chemical is the reason for the vivid red hue of quite a few foods. Unlike many other vitamins, it is not damaged during the cooking process, but is actually made more effective by cooking. . Its most interesting medical value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to reduce the risks of contracting cancer. It is the most effective remover of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It's also thought to hamper the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
