The reason is that it's high in saturated fat, which is something that we try to avoid on South Beach.

From South Beach Diet Online:
Protein sources that are high in saturated fat should be avoided: These include brisket, liver, rib steaks (including prime rib), chicken and turkey pieces with the skin (as well as dark meat), duck, and goose.

My take on this is that it's best to avoid such fatty protein sources while in the weight-loss phases of South Beach, but once you reach maintenance, there's no reason why you can't eat it now and again. |
