South Beach Diet Plan
The South Beach diet was developed by Arthur Agatston, a highly respected cardiologist based in South Florida. Agatston’s diet minimizes consumption of bad fats and bad carbs and it emphasizes the consumption of “good carbs” and “good fats”. Dr. Agatston developed this diet for his chronically overweight heart patients based upon his study of scientific dieting research. His goal was to improve the cholesterol and insulin levels of his patients, by developing a healthy eating plan.
Weight Watchers is the weight loss version of the Alcoholics Anonymous and it actually started as a discussion group for how to best lose weight. This company was founded in the 1960s by Jean Nidetch. This is actually one of the best diets around because it puts all the management tools in the hands of the user. It now operates in about 30 countries around the world.
