For the first two weeks the south beach diet looks like a low carb diet because the Doctor that implemented this diet in Florida calls for a strict rid of many of the carbohydrates in this period. He allows a slow reentering of the sugary substances after the initial shocking of the body into a self discipline that many of his patients claim, becomes almost unconscious. Does shocking your body sound healthy? Does paying a Doctor sound free?
The Doctor that invented this diet attributes the largest health problems we have today to the added sugars we have found on the shelves of grocery stores and kitchen cupboards throughout the United States in the last century, and now have passed this on to other countries as well. He claims that eating has evolved the human body for millions of years, and we have changed our eating habits to something radical and unhealthy. He makes a good point and has written at least eight books on the subject of diets. His books are not free, but is his diet healthy?
A low carb diet has it's good points and it's bad. Let's just start by changing the word carbohydrate to the word sugar to keep it simple. Doctor Atkins could be correct in many of his claims, and his proof is in his patients, but I would rather take both sides of the argument for an education. Let's start with babies. For millions of years, babies have used mother's milk to build healthy bodies, and we all know this. Animals of all sorts feed their babies milk. Milk is made with fat, but no sugar. Sugar comes from plants and sunlight. Sugar is never made from animals to be passed on to other animals, but sugar is made within our system. When a baby gets bound up in the intestinal tract, we take sugar water and feed it to the baby to loosen it's bowels. Animals do not have access to sugar water, so they eat berries. I personally believe many babies died in the history of mankind because they were unaware of the evils of too much milk for babies or too much sugar. I believe too much of any one thing can harm you, and all extremes should be kept from babies, unless that extreme is love. And we all love healthy babies.
I believe any healthy diet must include all the groups of food at some interval or another. No extremes. A little of everything even if you do not like the food. The lack of meat for a child can grow them into an anemic adult. So no vegetarian diet either. The closer a persons diet resembles the last million years, the easier it will be for the body to accept the treatment, because our bodies have evolved slowly into what they are today. But to ask the average person to give up all foods issued in the last century is ludicrous. Some common sense is needed with any diet, and a lot of self discipline is needed to keep from going to extremes. Today it is easy to afford and acquire everything that is good or bad for a healthy diet. A few hundred years ago there were fat people and sickly people, and people that died young, but there were also healthy people who didn't have to watch their diet because their lifestyle dictated good food and hard work. Neither are a popular item in today's society. That is the only problem I see in this whole thing.
