Dr. Arthur Agatston, an established cardiologist, created The South Beach Diet™ in the mid-1990s in response to his disillusionment with the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet that the American Heart Association recommended.

Today, South Beach Diet followers have shed millions of pounds to lead healthier lives.

Although the South Beach Diet is a low carb diet, you don’t have to give up all carbs. Instead, you’ll be encouraged to make wise carb decisions such as whole grains and certain fruits and vegetables; the right fats, such as olive and canola oil; and lean sources of protein.

Count Your Way to Success with the 1200 Calorie Diet

The 1200 Calorie Diet is exactly as it sounds.  You get to eat 1200 calories a day, and that’s it!  With limited caloric intake, your body will burn excess calories for energy and you lose weight.

Variations of this diet depend on who assigns it. Doctors and nutritionists also promote exercise, balanced food pyramid servings and vitamins to remain healthy.  They believe it is safe to lose up to two pounds per week, but not more. A quack promoter may limit what foods to eat and in what combination. They say with a strict diet regimen, you can lose 25 pounds in one month.

The 1200 Calorie Diet can be modified to any number of calories per day, but most experts feel that 1200 is the bottom limit to how many calories your body still needs to take in to be healthy and fueled.  Fewer calories mean you are probably depriving your body, and when a body is deprived, it will not lose weight.  The body maintains what it has to prevent loss, and will actually work in reverse.

Sample Day on the 1200 Calorie Diet

Breakfast

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 shredded wheat biscuit with 1/2 sliced banana
1 cup skim milk

Lunch

Tuna salad: 1/4 cup tuna fish (water-packed), 2 tsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp celery, 1 tbsp bean sprouts, 2 small lettuce leaves.
1 small pita bread.
1 cup tomato juice
1 small apple

Dinner

4 oz broiled center sliced ham
1/4 cup mashed yams
1/2 cup black-eyed peas
1/2 cup spinach
4 radishes
1/2 cup fruit cocktail (water-packed)
1 cup skim milk

Snack

1 small peach
1 cup diet soda

If you can survive on a little food and high volumes of water, you might not get too hungry on a 1200 calorie diet and have great success!

It’s In Your Blood

The Blood Type Diet gained its newfound popularity in 1997 with the publication of the book, “Eat Right 4 Your Type” written by Dr. Peter D’Adamo. This diet was created by years of research on blood by his father, and also his own research and testing.

Eat for Your Blood Type

Followers of the Blood Type Diet believe that each type of blood, A, B, O and AB each have different requirements to function at their peak.

> Type A needs a diet high in vegetables and low in meats.

> Type B can withstand high dairy content.

> Type AB is a mix of the two.

> Type O must follow a high meat content diet.

How the Blood Type Diet Works

D’Adamo claims that lectins, a component of blood, react with food you eat. Depending on the blood type, different levels of lectin are present, and if you don’t eat the right foods, they deposit harmful residue in your muscles, joints, etc. By following the correct foods, you will be at optimal functioning. Eating for your blood type improved 8 out of 10 people’s lives.

Not Everyone’s a Believer

This diet is fairly new and has been met with much criticism, as does any new product. The author says extensive research and studies have been conducted and their results point to the truth behind their hypothesis. However, nutritionists and scientists say the scientific evidence is lacking, and potentially detrimental to people’s health. The author makes blanket statements about groups of blood types and what they can and cannot tolerate.

The Inside Skinny

The Blood Type Diet seems fairly easy to follow, as long as you like the foods your blood type is “assigned.” No special potions, lotions or exercise is needed. As with any diet, get your doctor’s advice before proceeding.

Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Acheiving Your Ideal Weight (Hardcover)

If you’ve ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn’t work for you… well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it’s a fad diet.

But it could also be that you’re the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D’Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you’ll process best, and which will be useless calories.

He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations.
