Should you follow the Beach Diet?

Dr. Agatston created the beach diet. According to Dr. Agatston this diet is more about learning how to eat right and live healthy rather than focusing on losing weight primarily. On this diet people will learn how to select and eat the right carbs and the right proteins and fats. While on this diet it is recommended that you eat a lot of fish as well as drinking a lot of milk. He says it is through this that people will get all the vitamins and nutrients that you need in a balanced diet.  

However, according to research and medical professionals, Dr. Agatston’s beach diet could cause more problems than good and should not be followed. The first problem that some people have with this diet is that it stresses the importance of fish, any kind of fish. Nutrionists and medical doctors say that the creator of this diet is over looking the fact that fish from certain parts of the world are dangerous to eat as they are contaminated with dangerous levels of PCB’s from pollutants. Also, it has been said that the beach diet is based on the fact that people should drink a lot raw (unpasteurized) milk. However there are serious problems that are associated with this form of milk. It has been found that this kind of milk is linked to many food allergies.   

Other medical professionals also say that the creator of the beach diet has a serious lack of knowledge about trans fats as well. It has been reported that in his book about the diet he makes conflicting statements about the dangers of trans-fats and cannot seem to make up his mind about whether they are good or bad. Before starting this diet you should find out as much information as you can and make sure that you are well informed about the benefits and dangers of the diet.
