Goodbye Phase 1, Hello Phase 2, With South Beach Diet!

UP NEXT, IT'S TIME FOR FOOD
EDUCATION. AND CELEBRATION, SOUTH BEACH
STYLE. IT'S SO NICE TO BE BACK AT THE
EDEN ROC AGAIN. DR. AGATSTON IS SO FULL OF GOOD
INFORMATION AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM AND HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO
SAY THIS TIME. LADIES, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU
AGAIN. I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WORKING
REALLY, REALLY HARD DURING PHASE ONE, AND IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE
AGAIN WITH DR. AGATSTON. IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE AND WE'VE
FINISHED PHASE ONE. HOW'D PHASE ONE GO? I REALLY LIKE EATING WHAT I
WANNA EAT WHEN I WANNA EAT IT, (LAUGHTER) AND THAT WAS MY
BIGGEST PROBLEM BEFORE. YOU HAVE POWER OVER FOOD,
INSTEAD OF IT HAVING POWER OVER YOU. I LOVE TO HEAR YOU DESCRIBE IT
THAT WAY, IS POWER OVER FOOD. OKAY, SO I TRIED MY WEDDING
DRESS WHEN I BOUGHT IT I HAD THIS MUCH SPACE THAT I NEEDED TO
CLOSE, AND IT DIDN'T CLOSE.

SO I TRIED IT ON LAST WEEK, AND
IT FINALLY CLOSED, SO HOPEFULLY BY THE END, FOR THE WEDDING, I'M
GONNA HAVE TO SEW IT TO MAKE IT SMALLER. (LAUGHTER AND CHEERING). THAT IS FANTASTIC. AND YOU HAVE A VERY, VERY LUCKY
FIANCE. AWWW… (LAUGHTER). THANK YOU. ANY FRIENDS OR SPOUSES NOTICE
THE BETTER MOOD OR… YES, MY HUSBAND DEFINITELY
NOTICED A DIFFERENCE, AND WHEN I WALK AWAY, HE DOES A LITTLE NOD,
YOU KNOW, AND HE'S LIKE "WOW…THAT'S LOOKING REALLY
NICE!" YOU KNOW.

MY HUSBAND DID SAY THAT MY
CLOTHES LOOK LIKE THEIR GETTING A LOT LOOSER ON ME SO THAT WAS
GOOD. (LAUGHTER). IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR! MY HAIR AND NAILS, I FEEL LIKE
IT'S A LOT HEALTHIER AND GROWING AND STRONGER. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MORE ENERGY. IT'S INTERESTING. THE ENERGY, LACK OF HUNGER, THIS
IS ALL BECAUSE YOU'RE CONTROLING THE BIG SWINGS IN BLOOD SUGAR
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT THE STRATEGIC
SNACKING HELPS. ON THE WEBSITE, THERE WERE SO
MANY DIFFERENT RECIPES AND OPTIONS THAT I NEVER GOT BORED. YOU KNOW, THAT'S SO WONDERFUL TO
HEAR. WHATEVER YOU LIKE, IT'S ON THE
WEBSITE. WELL, TO CELEBRATE THE END OF
PHASE ONE, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A MOMENTO BECAUSE YOU DID SO WELL,
AND YOU'RE ALL STARS–. (IN UNISON) AWWW… THAT'S SO SWEET. –AND WE'RE IN SOUTH BEACH,
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A STARFISH. (IN UNISON) AWWW… THANK YOU! THANK YOU! BEAUTIFUL.

AND YOU'LL WEAR IT IN GOOD
HEALTH AND TO CELEBRATE, LET'S TOAST! CHEERS! (GLASSES CLINKING). I'M FEELING ENERGETIC AFTER
PHASE ONE BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT PHASE. SO, DR. AGATSTON, NOW THAT WE'RE
READY TO START PHASE TWO, CAN YOU GIVE US MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT THAT ENTAILS? I THINK OF PHASE TWO AS MORE
VARIETY AND MORE FUN. AND WE ADD THAT TO WHAT WE HAD
IN PHASE ONE. WE HAVE WHOLE GRAINS, LIKE THE
WHOLE GRAIN BAGELS YOU SEE HERE, WE HAVE WHOLE FRUITS,
RASPBERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES,
MULTI-COLORED…THE MORE COLORS, THE MORE NUTRIENTS, THE
HEALTHIER IT IS. WHOLE GRAIN PASTA, BROWN RICE,
STILL SOME STARCHES, AND THEN SWEET POTATOES WHICH HAVE MORE
FIBER AND MORE NUTRIENTS THAN WHITE POTATOES. I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST. (LAUGHTER). I AM AN ADMITTED CHOCO-HOLIC. ME TOO! (LAUGHTER). SO–. ME THREE! (LAUGHTER). AND THAT'S ALL OF US! AND MORE AND MORE OF THE
RESEARCH IS SHOWING DARK CHOCOLATE IN MODERATION IS
PRETTY HEALTHY AND IT'S SIMILAR TO RED WINE.

RED WINE ALSO HAS POLYPHENOLS,
RESVERATROL, A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR US, AND A
LITTLE WINE ALSO SLOWS OUR STOMACH EMPTYING AFTER A MEAL,
SO IT CAN SLOW THE SWINGS IN BLOOD SUGAR. BUT IF THEY'RE ADDING SOME OF
THESE FOODS BACK IN, ARE THEY GOING TO GAIN BACK THE WEIGHT? THE IDEA OF PHASE TWO IS YOU
REACH YOUR WEIGHT LOSS GOAL AND AGAIN, IT'S SLOW WEIGHT LOSS,
WITH THAT THE SUSTAINED WEIGHT LOSS THAT PEOPLE CAN STAY ON FOR
LONG PERIODS OF TIME. TO HELP YOU ALONG IN PHASE TWO,
WE'RE GONNA BE SENDING YOU SOME SOUTH BEACH SNACKS, AND YOU ALL
KNOW THE PURPOSE OF SNACKING BUT A SNACK IS GREAT IF IT FILLS YOU
UP, IF IT'S CONVENIENT AND IF IT TASTES GOOD.

THANKS, DR. AGATSTON! AND REMEMBER, LADIES, WE'LL BE
WITH YOU ALL THE WAY. (IN UNISON) THANK YOU. PHASE TWO SOUNDS GREAT. I JUST HOPE THAT WE KEEP LOSING
THE WEIGHT. PHASE TWO, HERE WE COME. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. HEY, LADIES! I WANT SOME OF THAT BLING! FOR MORE ON THE SOUTH BEACH
