The plan
The plan is based on the principle that certain types of carbohydrates cause people to gain weight. Carbohydrates are allowed on the diet but are put into good and bad categories. Refined foods like biscuits and pasta are classed as bad. The South Beach Diet claims that it is not low in carbs or low in fat, but that weight loss is achieved by learning to eat the right carbs and the right fat.
