    South Beach Diet Phase 1 Recipes

    South Beach Diet Phase 1 Recipes are keto-friendly and don't contain fruits, grains, starchy vegetables, or refined sugar.

    In this section, we've grouped popular recipes from this diet so you can easily find new favorites, like cottage cheese desserts and cauliflower mash.

    Note: We're using Dr. Arthur Agatston's The New Keto-Friendly South Beach Diet (2019) for SBD tagging. If a recipe requires a minor modification, it's noted in the recipe card.

    Browse our complete recipe index to find ALL of our carb-conscious recipes, including those suitable for phase 2 of SBD, which includes fruit and whole grains.
