South Beach Diet

Sensible Eating on Easter

Although the religious celebration of Easter doesn't historically involve a feast, people often gather over a big meal to honor this holiday. While the South Beach Diet is a weight-healthy lifestyle that embraces special occasions, we also encourage you to stick to the principles as much as possible — focusing on nutrient-dense, fiber-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables; healthy fats, like extra-virgin olive oil and omega-3s found in fatty fish; and lean protein sources, including chicken, fish, and lean cuts of beef.
