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.

The book came quickly. I didn't necessarily buy it to lose weight. It was to find what foods one should be eating. I applied the doctor's program to my diet and lost a little weight without trying! So I think that if you want to lose weight this would be the book for you!
