Author: Arthur Agatston
For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose 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 regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it. — ...  more »

This book was well written & had a lot of great pointers. Also has some good recipes. A must read for anyone trying to improve their lifestyle and incorporate a better diet & way of living that fits into everyday normal life with "normal" eating.

This is a nice handy quick reference book to help you with the South Beach Diet. A lot of good information on what foods you can eat at home and especially out to dinner.

Seems more balanced than the Atkins diet and enjoyed the tasty recipes and snacks. Worthwhile reading on health and nutrition.

I used this book and lost 20 lbs on the diet. It was easy to read and helped me integrate suggestions in to my daily life. I also used the Good Fats Good Carbs Guide that South Beach has out.

A lengthy explanation of the South Beach Diet along with a lot of "real life" stories and a few recipes. The diet has worked amazingly well for my husband and sister in law. Less so for myself, frankly my own eating habits are not far off from his recommendations so weight loss is slow and minimal. But Sister in law lost 60 lbs. in about 9 months and husband 15-20 lbs. in just a month.

Very helpful so helpful I am 1/2 way to my weight loss goal. I'm only parting with this book because I'm upgrading to the newest one.

Doesn't require that you starve yourself. You can still eat normal size helpings of meat, poultry and fish. Snacks are required. Includes meal plans.
