Disadvantages to the New South Beach Diet

When researching what diet plan is right for you it's good to look at the whole package. For this diet, there are a couple of disadvantages worth mentioning:

• The Supercharged South Beach Diet makes some imprecise nutrition claims.
• Several of the pre-packaged foods contain artificial sugars which can have a laxative effect for some people.

Expanded Menu

For those who tried the South Beach Diet but grew bored with the selection of foods to eat, the good news is the new diet offers an expanded South Beach Diet menu for what can and cannot be eaten in phases 1 and 2. The updated diet now offers two weeks of new meal plans for both of these phases.

Overall, the new plan is much like the original version of the South Beach Diet with an emphasis on eating:

• lean proteins
• low-starch vegetables
• low-fat dairy

The Role of Exercise

Many popular fad diets make promises of weight loss without exercise. However, if your goal is long-term weight loss and good health, exercise is necessary. Our bodies are designed to move, and the Supercharged South Beach Diet exercise program definitely gets you moving. It combines high intensity and low intensity interval exercise and focuses on a 10-week walking program. For those who feel challenged when it comes to exercise, the book offers 27 strengthening and toning exercises along with photos and instructions and an exercise DVD can also be purchased. The book recommends 20-minutes of daily exercise most days of the week.
