The South Beach diet distinguishes between good and bad carbohydrates, and good and bad fats. The diet does not require counting calories or limiting servings. Dr. Agatston developed this diet and suggests you eat until you are satisfied. Dieters are told to eat 6 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with small snacks between each meal.
Question : How much exercise should I do during Phase I of the South Beach Diet?
I am starting the South Beach Diet, and plan on exercising throughout to maximize my weight loss effort. However, I know that my body is going to feel very sluggish during the first 2 weeks as it is so adjusted to having an abundance of carbs. How critical is it to exercise during those first two weeks?
