How To Lose Weight By AskOliverAnything.com At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Are you looking for a New Year's resolution? Is one of them, to lose weight? Well, I honestly have tried many different diets. And the best one I would recommend is the South Beach Diet. I've loss so much weight with this diet--15lbs! I would recommend it to anyone.

My journey began when I wanted to lose weight for Halloween (I wanted to be a Chip n' Dale). You can see my picture at http://www.myspace.com/batmn911. Anyways, I wanted to look good for that day and San Diego is a highly competitive market with smart and attractive individuals. I mean, every girl that night dresses up in lingerie and they're unbelievably hot. So now, I'll diet two weeks before Halloween, so I can wear my Chip n' Dale outfit.

Anyways, the South Beach Diet is basically a low carb diet. Yes, I'm sure you've heard it all before. But, I believe it is the best one out of all the low carb diets out there. For example, some diets allow you to eat as much butter and bacon as you want. However, these contain a whole lot of fat which is obviously unhealthy.

The South Beach Diet was created by a cardiologist, Dr. Agatston who was primarily concerned about his patients' hearts. See, his patients would come in for cardiac surgery, but it was difficult for him to perform the surgery because his patients would have a lot of fat surrounding their hearts. He would give them a diet to stick to, so they could lose a lot of weight before surgery. However, the patients were saying it was too difficult to stick to, even though if their life depended on it. So, he spoke to one of the nutritionists in the hospital and they designed a diet together that was easy to stick to and help patients lose weight before surgery. Well, these patients loss so much weight that they started to recommend it to their friends and family members and it became very popular in South Beach, Florida. Later, Dr. Agatston, the creator of the South Beach Diet, would appear on local television to give advice and eventually write a well-renowned book.

Although, the South Beach Diet is very popular, I did modify it a little bit because I didn't have all the ingredients to make all the meals. For example for two weeks straight, I ate two over-easy eggs for breakfast, 15 almonds for my mid-morning snack, a chicken salad for lunch, 15 more almonds for my mid-afternoon snack, a steak for dinner (no potatoes) and sugar-free jello for desert. However, this is me personally, so you can do whatever you'd like.

Anyways, after every Halloween it's back to my same old diet--hamburgers and fries! So, if you want to lose weight really fast, this is what I would recommend, but don't blame me if it doesn't work out. Everyone is different and you can speak to your doctor for the best approach for your personal diet.
