Sixteen years ago, cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston introduced the world to the South Beach Diet®, a heart-healthy and revolutionary high protein, low sugar, low carb approach to dieting. The South Beach Diet principles have stood the test of time and the program is a trusted choice of millions. There are more than 23 million copies of The South Beach Diet and its companion books in print worldwide.

In 2019, South Beach Diet® is launching the new South Beach Diet Keto-Friendly program designed to be a low-carb, high-fat dietary pattern consistent with a “keto” diet. This new program was inspired by the growing trend toward health-conscious consumers pursuing keto lifestyle and products, which have been associated with health benefits, weight loss and performance. The keto-friendly program option offers consumers the ability to adapt the proven South Beach Diet to make it more “keto.”

The existing and proven South Beach Diet program, which is high in lean protein and low in carbohydrates and added sugar, remains available for those who do not wish to follow the keto-friendly option. Customers on the South Beach Diet program can expect to lose up to seven pounds in the first seven days on the program, a motivating start to a healthier lifestyle.

Additionally, South Beach has increased its menu by over 30% for 2019, including 24 new foods, and boasts a menu of more than 100 meals and snacks with globally-inspired flavors.

Also new is the launch of South Beach’s new nutrition pledge that includes commitments to provide foods that are free from the following items:

* No artificial flavors or sweeteners
* No colors from artificial sources
* No high fructose corn syrup
* No artificial trans fats (No partially hydrogenated oils)
