Book Description

April 13 2004 Random House Large Print Nonfiction
Since its publication April 2003, The South Beach Diet has become a nationwide phenomenon: a #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 700,000 copies in print in three months. A key factor in the diet's success is the great-tasting, well-balanced meals Dr. Agatston promotes. In fact, requests for more recipes began pouring in as soon as the book hit the shelves! THE SOUTH BEACH DIET COOKBOOK fills that need by offering more than 200 recipes that adhere to the diet's nutritional principles without compromising on taste.

Beginning with a brief overview of the science-based eating philosophy and why it produces such dramatic results--up to 13 pounds in the first 2 weeks--the book also includes success stories, troubleshooting tips, and frequently asked questions. the fabulous recipes, from Whole Grain Pancakes with Berry Cream Syrup to Filet Mignon with Tomatoes and Rosemary to Chocolate-Hazelnut Flourless Cake, ensure that THE SOUTH BEACH DIET COOKBOOK will appeal to anyone who wants to eat more healthily (and who doesn't?). And for every dish there is an indicator as to which phase of the diet it corresponds to, so followers can choose appropriate foods.

Also included are new recipes contributed by prominent South Beach chefs and by readers themselves. Illustrated throughout with full-color photography, THE SOUTH BEACH DIET COOKBOOK will satisfy the needs of the thousands who are already on the plan and draw in thousands of new followers as well.

Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Cardiologist Agatston (The South Beach Diet) follows up his blockbuster book on weight-loss with this volume of more than 200 recipes, a number of which are culled from the kitchens of chefs in Miami Beach and other cities. Each recipe is designated as Phase 1, 2 or 3 to help readers discern the segment of the diet for which they are appropriate. Carbohydrates are off-limits during Phase 1, but "good carbs" (like whole grains) are gradually reintroduced in Phase 2. Phase 3 segues into a less restrictive but still healthy eating regimen. Among the Phase 1 recipes are the simple Reuben Wrap (which calls for cabbage leaves instead of bread; the author notes readers "will have to have a 'rye' sense of humor for this"), as well as more complex main dishes such as Coconut Chicken and Sage and Rosemary Pork. Phase 2 and 3 eaters will find delicious options such as Sesame Baked Chicken, Crab Royale and Couscous Salad. Noting that a variety of foods and recipes combats the repetition and boredom that are many dieters' downfall, Agatston presents a wide array of choices, with plenty of enticing fish and vegetarian dishes. He also includes breakfasts, snacks and desserts, as well as ideas for home entertaining "South Beach-style" with a focus on fresh veggies, fat-free dips, shrimp and nuts for appetizers, and main dishes of grilled tuna or flank steak. Agatston leaves no stone unturned, even providing shopping lists and recipes for homemade condiments that forgo sugars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weighty on attraction; thin on recipes April 28 2004
Format:Hardcover
I've been following the South Beach Diet (SBD) for several months, and it's my own fault if I fall off the wagon. Thank goodness the SBD makes it easy to get back on track. So, when the SBD cookbook arrived, I was looking forward to seeing enough recipes to carry us from Phase I through III. However, there appears to be an imbalance in the number of recipes offered for each phase, being very thin on Phases I and III. While the color-coding for each phase is nice, perhaps it would have been better to organize them in chapters, like the original book.

Not a complete disappointment, the SBD Cookbook is attractively presented. So, are we to expect a sequel: Phase III - SBD for Life?

If you have been on the South Beach Diet then you will appreciate how much easier this cook book makes sticking to it. Lots of good recipes to try out and find out which ones you like best. Worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Check it out Jun 5 2006
By FT53
Format:Hardcover
It takes determination to lose weight and I've always thought the formula to be relatively simple: eat less calories and burn more through exercise. However, it is very difficult to do so. So I turned to South Beach diet. I've found this to be a very practical diet. After the initial first two weeks (the strictest) I've lost about 5 pounds. But, I've done no exercise whatsoever and have eating quite a bit which accounts for the lower than the average weight loss.

Very helpful was also another book. The title is "Can We Live 150 Years?" In addition to longevity issues there is also a very good chapter on obesity, proper food combination, etc. It is a very good addition to "South Beach Diet".

1.0 out of 5 stars more bogus diet garbage
If people would just eat right and hit the gym four times a week, they would lose weight.

Instead, people are bypassing normal common sense and going for these fad diets. Read more
