  The South Beach Diet by Arthur Agatston
This was in marked contrast to the Atkins Diet, for instance, which bans virtually all carbohydrates and leaves the dieter to exist mostly on proteins.
A diet may be medically or nutritionally sound, but if it is hard to live with, if it doesn't take into account how -- the whole person operates, not just his or her digestive tract and metabolism -- then it is a failure.
Diets that require complex menus, or supplements taken at certain times of day, or foods eaten in precise combinations, are just too burdensome to sustain for long.

The South Beach diet follows the first phase with two additional phases that allow low-glycemic-index carbohydrate foods to be included in increasing amounts.
Advocates of the South Beach diet contend that people eating a typical Western diet need to abstain from most carbohydrates at the beginning of a diet in order to break the cycle of cravings for carbohydrate foods, and to cause a significant loss of weight early in the diet.
Similar to advocates of a low-glycemic-index diet, they also claim that human physiology is not designed to tolerate the rapid and prolonged elevations in blood sugar and insulin caused by the abundance of processed, high-glycemic-index foods in the typical Western diet.
