The hardest part of any weight loss program is cutting out your favorite foods. In fact, the reason people fail on diets is because they feel deprived and grow bored with the limited list of approved foods. The South Beach Diet lets you eat the foods you want, and helps you discover ways to eat them that are both healthy and delicious.

You will be shocked and delighted when you check out the foods you can eat while on the South Beach Diet. Although some foods are restricted, the foods on the "approved" list are more than sufficient to allow for healthy and delicious dining.

The South Beach Diet is highly successful because it does not make you give up all of the foods you enjoy eating. Delicious meats like chicken breast, turkey, lean beef, Cornish game hen and boiled ham are on the "Can Eat" list, even during the most restrictive phase of the South Beach Diet, Phase 1.

And the South Beach Diet is a seafood lover's dream come true. There are few limits to the tasty seafood you can enjoy during all phases of the diet plan. You will also learn which fish are high in super healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and be encouraged to include them on your menu regularly.

In Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, your intake of high-carb fruits and grains is restricted, but don't fret. It's only for two weeks, and during this time your body will stop craving unhealthy amounts of these foods. Now when you start eating fruits and grains again in Phase 2, you will be more able to control your portions and eat them healthfully.

Fatty cheese and other dairy products are reintroduced to your diet during Phase 2 too. Cravings for these foods are also put in check during Phase 1, so you will find it easier to refrain from overeating these foods.

South Beach Diet menus encourage you to eat a wide variety of healthy green veggies, and this helps avoid boredom and introduces you to even more new ways of eating that are healthy and promote weight loss. For a delicious dinner, try a small portion of meat paired with two or three vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower or collard greens. Or munch on some celery when you want a little snack. You will be surprised at how satisfying this can be.

One of the great things about the South Beach diet is the delicious food combinations. Adding romaine lettuce or spinach to some of the meats and cheeses approved for Phase 1 will give you a smashing salad that will be satisfying and very filling.

They say that variety is the spice of life. If that's true, the South Beach Diet is the spiciest diet around. Check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed or feel deprived, and the weight will come off too.
