The South Beach Diet (Hardcover Book) and The South Beach Diet Cookbook

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 w/ low-fat regimens 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, & it doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, & fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, & vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, & baked potatoes. Best of all, as you lose weight, you'll lose 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.
