It's low in saturated and trans fat. But they push olive oil as the main
dressing, push nuts, fatty fish, etc. On their web site they say: "The South
Beach Diet is not low-fat or low-carb. It teaches you to rely on the right
carbs and the right fats."
Keeping good fats up is part of the healthy part of their plan, I'd say.
I won't pay them to tell me what the details are, though! ;-)
I have nothing against what I can see of the SB Diet, and it looks like my own
way of eating.
