The South Beach Diet is now an online program
The authors of the best-selling diet books the The 5-Factor Diet and the The South Beach Diet have taken their programs to a whole new level - they are now interactive and customized online programs.
Harley Pasternak, author of The 5-Factor diet and known as " the trainer of the celebrities", initially developed the diet for celebrities that often needed to get in shape and lose weight in a relatively short span of time. Pasternak created a series of brief, but effective workouts that actors could do between filming sets. He also came up with a plan to make quick, delicious, healthy meals using a few simple ingredients that could fit into a compact mini-fridge on a film set.
5-Factor online program is customized and offers interactive tools that help members stay on track through motivation, daily meal planners, tons of recipes, eating out guides, activity calculators and much more. The online program is based on the same concept as the best-selling book. A 5-week plan consisting of eating five Factor 5 meals each day, using 5-ingredient meals, 25-minute workouts and 5 cheat days in 5 weeks.
The best-selling book The South Beach Diet was written by acclaimed cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston. The main principles of the diet are to enjoy the food you eat, as you improve your health and lose weight. Dr. Agatston says," It's not just about diet - it's a way of life". Accomodating and flexible, The South Beach Diet is based on nutritional foods that satisfy hunger, including moderate portions of sweets and desserts.
Given two thumbs-up by many health care professionals, the eating plan for the diet is recognized as being beneficial to maintaining a healthy heart and body.
The South Beach Diet is divided into three phases:
Phase 1 - Eliminate cravings and kick-start weight loss
Phase 2 - Lose weight steadily
Phase 3 - Maintain for life
The South Beach Diet Online makes the clinically tested weight loss diet a user friendly, interactive and customized online weight loss tool. There are shopping lists, recipes, eating out guides, Q&A with Dr. Agatston, discussion groups, registered dietitians, advice on shopping for healthy ingredients and a lot more.

Comments
I saw the South Beach Diet commercials on TV and their program on-line; I'm actually a fan of this way of eating so I hope they're successful.
Thanks for the post! I was skeptical when searching for an online weight loss website because I didn't think I could lose weight with the help of the internet. However, I was proven wrong by a website called www.fitclick.com. This site offer weight loss programs, community forums, tips, calorie counters, etc. I couldn't be more happier with the results and I continue to use this site every day. Good luck dieters.
