The South Beach Diet is a low-carb, keto-friendly weight-loss solution. Renowned for being effective and safe, the diet is scientifically designed not only to help people lose weight, but to help them maintain a healthy weight and develop healthier lifestyle habits.

Both the South Beach Diet and the Atkins Meal Delivery services are low-carb diets (top meal delivery services), so they are keto-friendly. Additionally, they can be customized for vegetarians and diabetics. Although both provide options for allergy sufferers such as gluten-free meals and snacks, the allergy-friendly Atkins products are not very clearly labelled, and there are not very many of them. Therefore, South Beach is the winner in this category.
When it comes to keeping products free from nasty substances, South Beach is the most committed. They guarantee food without artificial colours, sweeteners and flavours, as well as not using MSG, high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils in their meals.
They also provide heart-healthy meals low in sodium and added sugars. While Atkins do use good-quality food, and use few artificial substances, there can be no question that South Beach tries hardest to give their customers the best quality ingredients they can.
As keto-friendly diets, South Beach and Atkins prioritise low-carbohydrate meals (perfect recipes for bodybuilders) and snacks, focusing on lean proteins and healthy fats. Both diets enable customers to eat 5-6 times a day, without having to pay too much attention to calorie consumption. That said, Atkins recommends a daily intake of 1500-2200 calories per day, in line with USDA guidelines. In this category, the two services are pretty evenly tied, with Atkins being our personal choice.
While the South Beach Diet provides most meals ready-made, Atkins gives customers the option of cooking a lot for themselves, providing hundreds of recipes which help people to follow the diet guidelines. However, their meal options leave something to be desired.
Although a lot of different flavours and cuisines are represented in their meal menu, including Asian, Italian, Mexican and American, South Beach offers far more options, so they take the medal in this category.
South Beach uses FedEx and deliveries can be expected in up to 10 days, depending on where they are being sent. They offer free shipping without conditions, except for a la carte orders, which are free above $150. Use of special boxes to keep food fresh for their customers
Atkins uses both UPS and FedEx and a standard delivery arrives in 1-6 business days. They have an extra charge for shipping to Alaska and Hawaii. They offer free standard shipping on offers of over $99.

There are many advantages that South Beach Diet and the Atkins Meal Delivery service have in common. They are scientifically-created, safe diet plans which help people to lose or maintain weight without having to compromise on taste, or spend long amounts of time without food. They are also budget-friendly, and adaptable to busy modern lifestyles.
However, when it comes to quality, South Beach promises food free from many damaging additives found in most ready-made foods today. On top of that, they provide a rich variety of meals from all over the world, giving their customers a lot of options. Therefore, our overall winner can only be South Beach Diet.
