South Beach Diet Creator Shuns ‘Low-Carb’ Label
The South Beach diet is no fad, its creator says, rejecting the notion that his eating plan would fizzle out with the rest of the low-carb craze.
“We are not low carb. We are good carb,” Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist who developed the diet to help patients in his Miami practice, said in a recent interview. “There is a lot of misunderstanding.”
Agatston’s book, “The South Beach Diet,” has sold about 4.8 million copies in the United States since it was published in 2003. The South Beach diet advocates eating lean meats and leafy vegetables while eschewing refined carbohydrates like pasta and bread.
