The South Beach Diet advocates changing your eating habits and lifestyle for weight loss and good health. According to the website MayoClinic, the diet is divided into three phases; the first eliminates many foods that you add back in as you progress through the second and third phase. In addition to recipes the South Beach diet plan offers a variety of convenience foods that take the guess work out of snacks and meals while on the diet.
Cereal Bars
A cereal bar makes a quick and easy part of a healthy and balanced breakfast that fits well with the South Beach diet plan and also can hit the spot to stave off hunger between meals. The cereal bars marketed by the diet are made by Kraft and include flavors such as dark chocolate berry, peanut butter and chocolate. Each one contains only 140 calories and 5 g of fat. In addition, each of these South Beach diet cereal bars boasts 8 g of protein to satisfy hunger and prevent binge eating due to hunger. The bars are made without high fructose corn syrup and can be found where other cereal bars are sold at most supermarkets.
Granola Bars
With flavors such as chocolate, berries and creme, mocha and s'mores, a South Beach diet granola bar makes an indulgent tasting snack that won't derail your efforts of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. The plan allows you two snacks per day, reports the MayoClinic website, so choosing one of these convenience granola bars makes an easy and portable go to snack that you can have on hand all the time. Each of the bars contains 100 calories and only 4 g of fat. They don't contain any high fructose corn syrup, but do give you a healthy dose of fiber at 9 g per bar. Adequate fiber intake regulates digestion and keeps you from feeling hungry before you are ready to eat your next meal. Look for South Beach diet granola bars at your local supermarket.
Meal Bars
The meal bars offered by the South Beach diet are ones that replace breakfast, lunch or dinner and provide a good dose of many nutrients you would likely get with a traditional plate of food, but for a reasonable amount of calories and fat. Many people find that eating a meal bar is faster and more convenient on a busy day when cooking a healthy meal isn't feasible. According to South Beach Diet's website, meal bars come in flavors like vanilla almond, apple cinnamon, chocolate, peanut butter and caramel. Each bar contains 180 to 190 calories and offers you a good dose of fiber and protein to satisfy hunger and support good health. In addition, the bars help you meet your daily recommended totals for vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. The bars are available at most supermarkets.
