PHASE THREE
The final phase of the South Beach Diet is considered the "lifetime"
phase, since the goal is to remain in the habits you have developped through
phase one and two and use them to eat a comfortable diet that allows you
never to feel deprived and yet keep a healthy body for the rest of your
life.
Phase Three is also referred to as the "maintenance" phase. This is where everything you've done for the past two phases comes together. This phase will last the rest of your life. By maintaining the permitted level of carbohydrates in your diet in order to continue your proper weight, you can enjoy all the meals you've come to love and amounts of the originally restricted foods that you've determined are in keeping with your diet.
The hardest part of the diet in the initial phases is keeping off of bread. Once you reach the level where you are comfortable with the level of carbs in your diet you will be able to enjoy bread (within limits) and still be healthy and look great.
