The First Diet The first diet I researched is the South Beach Diet. The South Beach Diet is a diet to help with weight loss and heart health. It makes claims such as, “See results in your first week”, “You’ll learn to make better food choices, for life!”, and “It’s flexible to fit your busy life”. This diet entails eating lean protein, which includes fish, pork tenderloin, and skinless chicken, so you can enjoy the same foods in a new way. It also entails, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and fruits. It costs $10.71 a day and up to $500 total.

But back to the nutrition, although you are losing weight, it’s not good weight. It’s all your muscle and then you’re skinny and weak but with a lot of fat, so it’s not all that good for you. Also it can get quite addicting because we should all admit that we like to have a little sweet something every now and then. And since the ads consist of celebrities and athletes that we look up to, it is considered a fad
