The south beach diet is developed by American cardiologist Arthur Agatston. The book with the same name with the diet description became in the USA the present best seller. “Try this diet, and on a beach in the southern countries you can leave, not hesitating of the forms, in the most open bathing suit! :))” - millions Americans have believed to this slogan. And this diet has been named presidential after rumors what by using this diet ex-president Clinton lost weight, so I will use that name too.The presidential diet it is faster not a diet as that, and the power supply system to apply which it is recommended during all life. It includes three stages. First two stages of a presidential diet are limited on time, they provide metabolism reorganisation, organism accustoming to a new diet, and also rather essential growing thin. The diet of the third stage which should proceed all life, provides maintenance of the reached result, conservation of the good physical form.

Diet basis - practically full refusal of “bad” carbohydrate and serious restriction of consumption of “bad” Adepses. Inherently the southern beach diet is very close to other diets man method , differing from it, perhaps, only in more simple way of that calculation/account that is possible and that is impossible, and hardly other lists of the resolved and forbidden products.
The first stage of a diet

Duration of the first, most severe stage of a presidential diet - 14 days. To accept nutrition at the first stage of a diet it is necessary six times a day. All products should be completely excluded from a ration, containing Saccharum in any kind, and also all fat products. Are forbidden:

* Sugar and any sweets, confectionery products;
* all flour products (bread and a bakery goods, macaroni, a batch, etc.);
* products (groats, a potato);
* fruit, berries, juice - they contain a laevulose;
* carrots, corn;
* any fatty meat;
* a duck meat, goose meat, chicken legs and a skin;
* fat cheeses;
* milk, yoghourts;
* alcohol.

Recommended products:

* a lean meat (beef, veal, the most low-fat pork steaks);
* chicken and light meat (except legs) without a skin, first of all chests;
* fish, marine products - any;
* not starchy vegetables (cucumbers, cabbage green head and colour, a string bean and bean, turnip, eggplants, a paprika, other green vegetables; 1 tomato), mushrooms, greengrocery;
* nuts in a small amount (pistachios, a peanut, walnuts);
* egg white;
* low-fat cheeses, vanilla quarg;
* olive and a sunflower-seed oil.

Recommended products can be used in any quantities (but, certainly, not overeating), therefore hunger you to feel should not. The set of recommended products at the first stage of a presidential diet is quite sufficient that throughout two weeks to provide the various, not bothering menu. Try to maintain alimentary balance, use in enough and meat, both vegetables, and greengrocery. During the first stage weight loss makes usually from 3 to 6 kg (though, depending on your constitution, digits can be and others).
The second stage

Successfully having sustained the first stage of a diet of a southern beach, smoothly pass to the second. The list of the resolved products at the second stage is much wider, but do not forget what to enter them into the ration all is necessary gradually, instead of at once. To accept nutrition at the second stage, as well as on the first, it is necessary six times a day. The second stage proceeds until you do not reach desirable weight and dimensions (or while, despite all reasonable efforts, the weight will not cease to decrease). Pay attention to the reservation in brackets! If weight reduction during the second stage of a presidential diet has stopped, it means, that it has reached optimum value for your organism, and it is not necessary to force itself, trying with risk for health to clean from a waist of 1-2 more centimetres.

At the second stage the presidential diet forbids the use of following products:

* Sugar and sweets, honey, a fruit spread;
* a white loaf, flour products from a white flour;
* pastries, cookies, pies;
* white rice;
* a potato, carrots, corn;
* sweet high-calorie fruit and berries (bananas, pineapples, water-melons) and juice from them.

Are resolved in addition to products of the first stage:

* fruit and berries, mainly unsweetened (apples, pears, peaches, apricots, citron, melons, kivi, a mango, plums, grapes, a cherry, a strawberry, a bilberry);
* the nonfattened milk, yoghourt, kefir;
* some groats (brown rice, barley, porridge, a buckwheat);
* black bread, first of all from a coarse flour, with bran or grain, dark macaroni;
* bitter chocolate, cocoa;
* the red wine use in a small amount is supposed.

As well as at the first stage, the total of used nutrition is not limited, however it is not necessary to abuse again entered products, especially flour and groats.
The third stage

The third stage of a presidential diet should proceed all life. The amount of food intakes can be reduced to four. All products are resolved practically, to avoid it is necessary only a white loaf and flour products from a white flour, a potato, white rice, sugar and sweets. However, occasionally to indulge itself with something from these “forbidden fruits” nevertheless it is allowed. Though, as the author of a diet confirms, after successful passage of first two stages to use these products to you and it will not want.

If you notice, that the weight has started to arrive again, it is necessary to return for 1-2 weeks to a food on the first stage. It should be quite enough that the organism has deposited corections to the functioning and you have found again the former form. For 1-3 days to come back to the first stage of a diet it is possible and in the preventive purposes, for example, after a plentiful celebratory feast.
