Brief Description

Item#: 3264673
    The South Beach Diet was developed by noted Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston for losing and keeping off weight by using a nutritional diet plan.
 
 

Description:

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."

Its a lifestyle

  • Value:5 out of 5

I bought the book and cookbook to lose 10 - 15 pounds. I lost 8 pounds in the first 5 days and have managed to keep it off since I purchased the books 4 weeks ago. I priced these books elsewhere and found that they were a GREAT bargain. The material was very easy to understand and gives a lot of valuable information that a person needs to know if they want to make this reasonable lifestyle change. Half of this book is dedicated to recipes. However, I found that purchasing the 30 minute recipe book was very beneficial in providing additional recipes that taste great! Today I feel healthier and I see that over time I'll be able to reach my weight loss goal.

The South Beach Diet Book

mulelady1 from Mayetta, Kansas, Mar 27, 2008

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!
