Beach Diet Questions and Answers
Question:
I don't like following set meal plans. Is the SBD for me?
Answers:
Following the meal plans on the SBD or using the recipes are not required.
The meal plans are great suggestions, but you can change them. In
fact, substitutions are completely acceptable (e.g. chicken for fish
or eggs for cottage cheese). You can also switch the meal plans around
(i.e. you can eat your dinner meal at lunch if you prefer).
Question:
Can you eat any sweets on the SBD?
Answer:
One of the reasons I love this diet is that Dr. Agatston provides
solutions for curing the sweet tooth of those on his plan. His recommended
treats include:
Ricotta cheese with vanilla or almond extract and mixed with a
sugar substitute
Sugar-free Jello
Sugar-free Fudgsicles
Sugar-free popsicles
Sugarless chewing gum
Sugar-free, caffeine-free carbonated sodas and drink mixes
There are many very easy recipes for desserts and snacks on the
Internet and in the South Beach Diet cookbooks.
Question:
Why am I so constipated on the SBD?
Answer:
Cutting back on carbs can cause you to experience constipation.
Keep in mind that it’s important to drink eight glasses of
water a day and this will help with regularity. Dr. Agatston also
recommends taking fiber supplements before meals such as Metamucil
or Benefiber.
