The diet everyone's talking about! Developed by noted Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston, The South Beach Diet became a national phenomenon because it works. It's not low fat or low carbs. It teaches you to use the right carbs and the right fats to change your body chemistry to burn fat, help reduce your cholesterol, and help prevent metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). As a result, you'll lose weight quickly and safely. Dr. Agatston's plan allows you to eat the foods you love including meat and fish, cheese, healthy oils and nuts, vegetables, and the right carbohydrates and sweets. There's no mandatory exercise, and you're never left craving more food. Structured in three simple phases, this may be the easiest diet that you've ever tried.

Phase One: Say goodbye to bad-for-you "goodies"! Your cravings will disappear, and so will eight to thirteen pounds.

Phase Two: Your stomach is visibly smaller and favorite foods are back on the menu! Your body is burning calories, not storing them!

Phase Three: The stage that lasts the rest of your life-normal foods in normal portions. You will keep your ideal weight and maintain your health and vitality.

Agatston includes recipes and meal plans for each phase. "The real value of the book is its sound nutritional advice."

  • The South Beach Diet Book

    This is a really great and SENSIBLE diet book. It is a realistic diet. And it works. It is easy to read and makes sense. It is the only diet book that I have read cover to cover. The first two weeks are the hardest, but once you make it past that you will be amazed at how much better you feel. And how much your waist line alone has dropped!

Product Q&A

Ask a Question
Be the first to ask a question about this product.
  • 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.)
