The South Beach Diet And The Celebrities Who Are On It
The South Beach Diet is a diet fad and is very popular. This diet is associated with low-carb diets, which are getting such as bad rap.
One of the most important principals of the South Beach Diet is that you need to rely on the right types of carbohydrates and fats in order to maintain good health and to lose weight.
One benefit of being on the South Beach Diet is that they will lower their cholesterol levels. Some even believe that the diet reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It eliminates food cravings because you don’t feel hungry while on the South Beach Diet.
Those who decide to be on the South Beach Diet plan do need to understand that they will have to be highly motivated and determined to succeed with weight loss.
While on the South Beach Diet you will learn to eat healthy, find good carbs and fats, and learn how to care for your heart.
The South Beach Diet is an entirely different way of eating. It is not a low-fat, low carb diet like so many of the other diet fads. While on the South Beach Diet you will learn that not all carbohydrates and fats are bad for you. You need to learn how to eat the right carbohydrates and fats. You will learn how to eat the “good” carbohydrates and fats in the right proportions.
Most individuals will lose between 8 and 13 pounds in the first two weeks that they are on the South Beach Diet program. Weight loss will slow down after the initial first two weeks on the program. The diet is a good way to lose weight for the long-term instead of just a short spurt so participants need to stick with the plan in order to realize these long-term weight loss achievements.
The South Beach Diet is safe when used as designed and very effective at eliminating excess fat from your body. Just like the Atkins diet the South Beach Diet works in stages. The South Beach Diet program is more like a lifestyle. While on the diet, you will be eating three portioned meals and two snacks. The meal plans that come with the program are very flexible and can easily be incorporated into anyone’s lifestyle.
To be successful while on the South Beach Diet program you should first write down your weight loss goals before you begin the diet. Place your goals where you can see them everyday so that you will be reminded of why you are on the diet. This goal reminder will help to keep you motivated.
You should get rid of any forbidden foods from your home before starting your diet so that you won’t be tempted.
You should be aware of the fact that as with most healthy diet plans you need to drink plenty of water while on the diet. Water will help you to feel fuller while on the diet. Water is also important because it flushes away toxins that may be released while you are following the South Beach Diet Program.
Even though there is no exercise program with the South Beach Diet Program, you should exercise on a regular basis. Exercise will help to speed up your weight loss.
You may slip up when on the diet. If you do slip up, don’t give up; get right back on the program so that you can realize your weight loss goal.
Celebrities that are on the South Beach Diet program are Bill and Hillary Clinton and Bette Midler.
These flyers are up on the Bowery regarding tonight's Community Board 2/SLA meeting... as you can see, there's a new liquor license application for 348 Bowery...I saw this, and wondered what storefront was 348... I got to Great Jones...
Ugh. Of course. As I reported in May, the whole parcel of 348-352 Bowery is for sale -- "restaurants welcome."
And Segafredo? Well if it's the same Segafredo... it's an international chain. Per the website: "Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Café, the only global café with Italian credibility offers a multi-sensorial experience reflecting the lifestyle of the quintessential Italian café. The constant drive for excellence exhibited by the Segafredo family is evident in product quality, efficient service and a friendly atmosphere all of which makes a positive difference in the quality of life of the customers."
I browsed through some news releases of other Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Café openings, such as one in the downtown Miami/Brickell area in 2008: "Segafredo Brickell exudes a posh and luxurious atmosphere ... Inside the venue, exhibiting the same level of chic-meets-comfort as the exterior, guests will experience a true Italian-style café with a coffee bar with barstools, plush red leather couches and free Internet services. ... Located within the restaurant, Spazio Nero is a lavish boutique night club that will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Embodying the nightclub’s name, the décor is outfitted in all things black, from the stylish black leather couches with silver buttons, to the black-tinted mirrors throughout, to the fleur-de-lis textured black-on-black wallpaper. The club features an elevated DJ booth, a one-of-a-kind advanced multi-zoned distribution audio system and a computer controlled lighting program by Infinite Audio Systems."
Segafredo, though, is operated by the VE Restaurant Group in Miami Beach. They have a slew of different types of eateries... so there are other possibilities for 348 Bowery.
As for the name (Alexander Duff) on the flyer, here's one guess...from the Metro 1 Hospitality Group in Miami Beach:
Alex Duff

Alexander Duff, a native New Yorker, in 2002 began his real estate career specializing buying and selling restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Some of Alex’s most notable deal include: Mokai Lounge/ Mama Vieja; Halo/ Hemisphere; Indomania/ Siembra; Tunelli/ Oasis; Hakan/ Dab Haus; Amendment 21/ Gigi Bistro; Fiore Pizza/ Pizza Power; Scrapbar/ Gil’s Café; Rabbit’s foot/ Loading Zone; and the restaurant at the Tudor Hotel.

Meanwhile, start saying your goodbyes to Downtown Auto and Tire...
