What's This?
 

Description:

The South Beach Diet by Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston is intended for quick weight loss, but it is really based on permanently changing the way one eats. The diet's initial phase, which lasts two weeks, is a detox mode, emphasizing the total avoidance of certain foods, including potatoes and sugar. Dr. Agatston guides the dieter through this period with encouraging and useful information on cravings, as well as menus that include healthy alternatives. The second phase returns some foods to the diet, while still controlling portions. The third phase is a maintenance plan, designed to keep off the weight that's been lost, and to keep the dieter on a sensible practice that will lead to lifelong health and fitness. The South Beach Diet promotes the awareness of good fats and good carbs based on the glycemic index, and includes recipes plus a wealth of useful information on healthy living and a suggestion that exercise should not be neglected.

    • south beach diet

      The book makes it easy to follow the diet, The recipes are also easy to follow and they are also tasty. But before you get to the diet ,it explains all about the food you can have and the ones you cant and why. it is a good book. I keep it right on my table next to my chair so I can go to it when I need to . It is a good read for what it is for. also whenever I order from overstock,its here in no time and my books have alway come in just a few days and always ingood condition.

    • This diet is not as severe as Dr. Atkins, and it really works. I was not hungry, but did miss some of the carbo-laden food I used to eat. I dropped 25 pounds in the two weeks of phase I (zero carbs). I have continued to lose weight, and have dropped 45 pounds in the last 3 months.

    • I've been overweight for several years now. Didn't have the desire or willpower to actually diet. This plan rocks! After the first two weeks, it's just eating healthy and paying attention to what goes into your mouth. Not starvation but good eating. Do this, you'll be glad - I'm down 12 pounds without a ton of effort!

  • Despite the glitzy title," this is one of the more appealing diet books among the new """"anti-carb"""" programs. Agatston", a doctor based at Miami Beach's Mt. Sinai Medical Center, found that his patients not only were unable to stay on various popular diets but their cholesterol and blood sugar levels remained dangerously high after trying these plans. The doctor chose to alter his own diet-first avoiding all carbohydrates and fruit and then reintroducing these foods in moderation. Feeling better and losing weight, he then consulted a nutritionist to modify his strategy to devise a sound method for his patients. The South Beach diet begins with a somewhat restrictive two-week program, generally producing a weight loss of from eight to 13 pounds. The initial phase may be difficult for those who crave bread, pasta and fruit. But there are still choices, and snacks (cheese, hummus, vegetables) are a necessary part of the diet. People shouldn't feel hungry on this part of the diet, stresses the author. The second phase offers somewhat more choices," including whole wheat bread and other selected carbohydrates. Agatston advocates combining the """"bad"""" with the """"good."""" For example", take whole wheat bread and dip it into olive oil, rather than using butter. Eat a very small amount of pasta with lots of vegetables, meat and healthy oils. Complete meal plans along with simple recipes comprise roughly half the book. Of course, there's no perfect diet that works for everyone but the enthusiasm of the conversational tone and the inviting manner make the book more appealing than many other diet tomes. (Apr.)
