Beach Diet

We all want to look great at the beach - to prepare for the holiday season, the sun, sea and good humor required in advance. And this is meant to help us "Beach Diet", also known under the names "Diet Agatsona" (named after its developer cardiologist Arthur Agatsona), "The South Beach Diet."

After examining carefully its principles, it is difficult to call "beach diet" diet - rather it is a system of power, because the doctor Agatson offers to eat the right carbohydrates - fruits, vegetables, whole grains and cereals, and minimize food deep processing of the past, especially those have been removed from the fiber, which is the main cause of excess weight. Does not exclude diet consumption and a sufficient amount of fat and animal protein. Thus, the power supply system is also addressing any one food group.

The diet consists of 3 phases (periods stages)
Phase 1:
The most difficult and the meaning of it is, according to Dr. Agatsona in self-restraint, after which you can lose 3-6 lbs.

Phase 2:
It lasts as long as you do not reach the desired weight. To the list of allowed foods, you can add unsweetened fruit, dairy products with low fat content, the bread from wheat flour, rice (preferably brown, black). Products containing starch, to minimize - rarely consumed in small quantities. Chocolate can be a little black, wine red.
Products are best added gradually and start with those that have the lowest glycemic index.
During this period, you can feel yourself more freedom in the choice of products. The process of losing weight can be a little slow to 0.5 kg per week, but it's all individually.
If you suddenly retreated from the power supply system and gain extra pounds, you need to go back to the first phase and the weight is restored, you can go back to the phase at which there were before.

3rd phase:
This phase, which can proceed after achieving the desired results, and it lasts a lifetime. The number of meals is reduced to 3-4 per day. The list of prohibited and permitted products are no longer here - you can have more control over your diet, enjoying a meal, especially during the first two phases, you will learn how to eat right. But keep in mind that it is necessary to know the measure of everything.
