Your Road Map to South Beach Success Welcome! I'm glad you've decided to try the South Beach Diet and have taken the first step toward a future filled with health and vitality. The South Beach Diet can't be classified as a low-carb diet, a low-fat diet, or a high-protein diet. Its rules: Consume the right carbs and the right fats and learn to snack strategically. The South Beach Diet has been so widely successful because people lose weight without experiencing cravings or feeling deprived, or even feeling that they're on a diet.
