The South Beach Diet remains one of the most popular and effective diet programs out there, promoting a balanced view of eating. South Beach Diet foods consist mainly of items that are low in "bad" carbohydrates and high in nutritional value. Carbohydrates are designated "bad" if the body breaks them down and sends them into the bloodstream immediately as sugar. Foods like bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta are high in bad carbs--a South Beach Diet no-no. Items like chicken, fish, vegetables, and "good" fats (like olive oil), on the other hand, are considered good foods.

At Heavenly Diet Store, we make it easy for those who are on the South Beach Diet. We carry hundreds of food items for people who are watching their carb, fat, and sugar intake, including foods that are specifically designed to make meal planning easier. Healthy eating shouldn't keep you confined to the kitchen--that's why we carry plenty of healthy, low carb prepared meals for the busy dieter.

Pursuing a healthier lifestyle shouldn't mean giving up all of the foods you enjoy, and this doesn't ask you to. While the first two weeks of the South Beach Diet do require the temporary elimination of sugars, starches, and alcohol, in the long run, the South Beach Diet plan allows you to include some of every type of food. During the stricter part of the diet, though, many people find it helpful to indulge in some yummy low carb snacks.

We carry a number of low carb snacks that fit in well with the South Beach Diet. Studies have shown that the less you feel deprived, the better your chances are of sticking with a diet for the long haul. With these tasty snacks, you'll feel anything but deprived!
