South Beach Diet

Chinese food
The main problem of Chinese food is that the dishes contain less vegetables in favor of deep fried meats, for example, sweet and sour chicken. Besides the portions are often too large and contain rich sauces.
Avoid all fried meat dishes. Don’t eat white rice because it has high GI. Also exclude noodles as they are really bad-carb).
So, avoid sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, noodles, lo mein, egg rolls, crispy duck.
Chicken, broccoli, egg soup, steamed vegetables, rice, meat, poultry, shellfish are acceptable.
Indian food
Concerning Indian dishes you can get Tandoori style meat, which is mainly roasted. Salads, chickpeas, beans and other vegetables are good choice as well as masalas and raitas.
But avoid the traditional bread prepared in the Tandoori oven because a carb is a carb and bread bread even if it prepared in a healthy way.
Japanese food
Japanese food is good too because it includes fish, shellfish, and vegetables. You can also allow miso soup. But exclude sushi; eat sashimi instead because it does not include rice.
Some vegetarian options, such as - and edamame-based dishes are also acceptable. The marinade of Teriyaki dishes is high in sugar that makes them unfavorable for the South Beach Diet as well as tempura because it is fried deeply.
