Dr.
Arthur Agatston, the creator of South Beach Diet admitted that his being a diet doctor happened unexpectedly.
His training as a cardiologist for 20 years had inspired him to help his heart patients to maintain good health and lose weight.
He came up with the book "The South Beach Diet" in 2003 and his patients were more than delighted.
Now, he endeavors to help America see their diet as more than eating foods to satisfy hunger and cravings.
His recently released book entitled "The South Beach Heart Program", Dr.
Agatston shares his knowledge on how best to detect, prevent and reverse heart diseases.
In his conversations with Dr.
Oz, Dr.
Arthur Agatston was happy to suggest 5 reasons to follow the South Beach Diet.
1.
It is not your boring weight-loss diet that restricts fats; rather, it encourages the right fats from virgin olive oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil as well as the fats from nuts, fish and avocado.
2.
This diet is excellent for the heart as the nutrients are all taken in its good nature such as good fats and good carbohydrates.
3.
South Beach Diet is more than just a manner of food preparation.
It is a way of life allowing people to enjoy the variety of foods without limitations.
The idea is to choose foods that can supply the proper and good nutrients.
4.
The Diet inspires you to be more active such as taking a brisk walk everyday for 30 minutes.
For after all, living a healthy lifestyle or being on diet is highlighted with physical regular exercises.
5.
Dr.
Agatston does not encourage eating of processed and refined foods.
