South Beach diet(Redirected from Arthur Agatston)The South Beach diet was developed by a cardiologist, Arthur Agatston, practicing in the Miami, Florida area. The diet first appeared in a book of the same name, published by Rodale Press. The South Beach diet is frequently confusingly compared to the Atkins diet, which is a low-carbohydrate diet. The South Beach Diet emphasizes the consumption of so-called "good carbohydrates", mainly ones that are high in fiber or nutrition, and typically low in glycemic index. The South Beach diet was developed for cardiac patients to lose weight without risking ketosis. (There are studies of the effects of extended Ketosis on the average body, but they are at this time inconclusive.) Weight loss turned out to be a beneficial side effect; Dr. Agatson believes this is a positive thing, as it encourages many people to move to a heart-healthier diet than may otherwise make this choice. In the initial phase, lasting a few weeks, dieters attempt to eliminate cravings for "bad carbohydrates" by eating no grains or fruits. After this phase, grain-based foods and fruits are gradually returned to the diet, although in smaller amounts than were likely eaten before beginning the diet, and with a concentration on foods with a low glycemic index, such as whole grains instead of refined flour. By the time the dieter has lost the desired weight, they should be having three servings of whole grains and three servings of fruit a day. The more strict Phase 1 may be reinstituted if the person feels they have developed cravings for foods they shouldn't have. The diet also emphasizes the difference between good and bad carbohydrates, combinations of foods, and good and bad fats. Good carbohydrates have a low glycemic index, that is, they are digested and absorbed slowly. Other preferred carbohydrates are ones that have more nutritional value than the alternatives (ie, brown rice is allowed in moderation, but white rice is discouraged). Eating fiber or fat with carbohydrates will slow their digestion. Good fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Saturated and trans fats are bad. This diet emphasizes making a permanent change in one's way of eating. It suggests whole grains and large amounts of vegetables, along with adequate amounts of mono- and polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 oils. It discourages the eating of overly refined foods, particularly refined flours and sugars. In 2004, a deal was made between Kraft Foods and Dr. Agatson wherein Kraft will begin producing a variety of foods that meet the requirements of the South Beach Diet. There is some concern that this will lead to the same kind of situation as products approved by the corporation associated with the Atkins diet—that some products will most certainly fall outside the scope of the diet.

It discourages the eating of overly refined foods, particularly refined flours and sugars. Keys became an Honorary Member of Alpha Kappa Alpha (http://www.aka1908.com) Sorority, Inc. It suggests whole grains and large amounts of vegetables, along with adequate amounts of mono- and polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3 oils. She eventually went home with 4 Grammys (Best R&B Album for The Diary of Alicia Keys; Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "If I Ain't Got You"; Best R&B Song for "You Don't Know My Name"); and Best R&B Duo or Group ("My Boo" with Usher). This diet emphasizes making a permanent change in one's way of eating. At the 47th Annual Grammy Awards ceremonies held on February 13, 2005, she gave a powerful solo performance of the single "If I Ain't Got You", and then joined Jamie Foxx and Quincy Jones in a stirring rendition of the Hoagy Carmichael song made famous by the late Ray Charles, "Georgia On My Mind". Saturated and trans fats are bad. In late 2003, Keys released her second album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, which shot straight up to the top of the Billboard R&B charts, selling over 610,000 copies its 1st week. Good fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Some critics went on to accuse her of outright plagiarism, especially in the case of her single "Fallin'", which interpolates James Brown's "It's A Man's World" right down to the string arrangement. Eating fiber or fat with carbohydrates will slow their digestion. Keys' work had a sound similar to 1970s soul singers like Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, with hip hop influences like those apparent in neo soul artists like Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and D'Angelo. Other preferred carbohydrates are ones that have more nutritional value than the alternatives (ie, brown rice is allowed in moderation, but white rice is discouraged). Critical reviews were mostly positive. Good carbohydrates have a low glycemic index, that is, they are digested and absorbed slowly. As such, she established a large fanbase of devoted fans, making her one of the most popular artists of the early years of the twenty-first century. The diet also emphasizes the difference between good and bad carbohydrates, combinations of foods, and good and bad fats. Because she wrote her own songs and played several instruments very well, consumers saw Keys as an original voice at a time when the musical marketplace was flooded with pop bands that were little more than an attractive front for the creative energies of others. The more strict Phase 1 may be reinstituted if the person feels they have developed cravings for foods they shouldn't have. With it she won five Grammy Awards in 2002 (see 2002 in music). By the time the dieter has lost the desired weight, they should be having three servings of whole grains and three servings of fruit a day. Songs in A Minor was a commercially successful album. After this phase, grain-based foods and fruits are gradually returned to the diet, although in smaller amounts than were likely eaten before beginning the diet, and with a concentration on foods with a low glycemic index, such as whole grains instead of refined flour. Following her mentor Clive Davis to his newly-formed J Records label, she released her debut album Songs in A Minor, the title being a reference to both her classical aspirations and to the fact that she wrote most of the songs while still being very young. In the initial phase, lasting a few weeks, dieters attempt to eliminate cravings for "bad carbohydrates" by eating no grains or fruits. She briefly attended Columbia University on a scholarship before devoting herself to a full-time musical career. Agatson believes this is a positive thing, as it encourages many people to move to a heart-healthier diet than may otherwise make this choice. Keys graduated as valedictorian from the Professional Performing Arts School, a public high school in Manhattan at the age of 16 years old. (There are studies of the effects of extended Ketosis on the average body, but they are at this time inconclusive.) Weight loss turned out to be a beneficial side effect; Dr. Keys's mother was the one who most supported her during the time when Keys was developing her talents. The South Beach diet was developed for cardiac patients to lose weight without risking ketosis. She wrote her first song "Butterflyz" at the age of fourteen; the song can be found on her debut album. The South Beach Diet emphasizes the consumption of so-called "good carbohydrates", mainly ones that are high in fiber or nutrition, and typically low in glycemic index. She learned classical music by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin, who was her favorite composer. The South Beach diet is frequently confusingly compared to the Atkins diet, which is a low-carbohydrate diet. She began playing piano when she was seven. The diet first appeared in a book of the same name, published by Rodale Press. Alicia's maternal grandmother is Puerto Rican. The South Beach diet was developed by a cardiologist, Arthur Agatston, practicing in the Miami, Florida area. She was born to a Italian mother, Terri Augello, and a Black father, Craig Cook and was raised in the Hell's Kitchen section of New York City.
