| The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books Easy to follow diet outline | | This a great, easy to follow diet that doesn't feel like a diet. It's more about food education than it is weight loss, but the weight loss happens. | | The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books Good book - not a diet a lifestyle change! | | They really shouldn't call it a diet, because it isn't. Its just a better way to eat and it easily achievable by anyone! | | The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books Similar to Atkins but I'll stick to Atkins | | Some great ideas in it but a little to liberal for me, as I'm an Atkins fan. Still, if you're willing to be more liberal, then this is the book for you. | | The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books outstanding diet | | I always had problems with weight loss. I'm one of those women who lose weight with great difficulty. Tried all sorts of diets but all were fruitless. Using Agatston's diet I finally managed to lose about 5 pounds. This diet works even if you are as problematic as I am in losing weight. | | The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books Common Sense and Great Recipes! | | Although I do not believe anything 100% without doing my own research, I do believe that this is a very healthy diet to follow. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "diet", because this is a plan that you could follow for the rest of your life. I did not begin the diet as specified because I did not want to diet. I wanted very healthy recipes to follow. The menus provided are right up my alley and provided a ton of nutrition. With exercise I'm sure this will maintain a goal weight or cause someone to lose a little, but that's not my personal goal. I really do enjoy the fish recipes in here and the variety-- the fact that my menu for two weeks is planned doesn't hurt either. IF you are looking for a few healthy recipes to follow, give this a try. | | The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books Product Description | For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to loose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regiments for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.
So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you loose weight, you'll loose that stubborn belly fat first!
Dr. Agatston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet.
| | The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss by Rodale Books Amazon.com | | The verdict is in: those simple carbs we've been living on are killing us. For good health, we've got to get our blood sugar under control and stop the incessant cravings. Or so says Dr. Arthur Agatston, author of The South Beach Diet. The first half of the book details the science behind the diet. Most of the explanations revolve around why things you thought were healthy—-orange juice, wheat toast, carrots—-are actually evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston created a modified carbohydrate plan, recommending plenty of high-fiber foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting bread, rice, pastas, and fruits. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a serious indifference to exercise. Feeling full while on a diet is a beautiful thing, but it seems odd that a cardiologist buries his exercise recommendations in a solitary sentence. The last half of the book covers his three-stage plan; daily diets are mixed with recipes, some of which are from South Beach restaurant chefs. The most restrictive period lasts just two weeks, enough time to stabilize your urges and lose a few pounds; stage two adds fruits and a handful of other carbs, while stage three is meant to last the remainder of your life, with occasional lapses for white bread or birthday cake. While the diet is sound, the book could be better organized. The first half mixes scientific study with anecdote in a seemingly random way, while the mix of meal plans and recipes can be confusing. Still, the recipes are varied and tasty, and you'll never feel deprived, unless you currently happen to live by bread alone. --Jill Lightner |
