white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, 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
in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous
with The South Beach Diet.
From the Inside Flap
"Dr. Agatston is a noted cardiologist who's
made many contributions, but The South Beach Diet may be his best. Importantly,
this is not 'another diet book.' This is a book about health and well-being.
Dr. Agatston does an outstanding job of explaining the importance of the
types of food we eat and its impact on preventing illnesses, such as coronary
heart disease and diabetes. Not only will you feel better if you follow
his diet, but you will look and live better."
--Randolph P. Martin, M.D., director of noninvasive cardiology at
Emory University Hospital in Atlanta
When renowned cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., set out to develop
a safe diet for his chronically overweight heart patients, he didn't expect
to become a media star in South Florida. But news of his patients' dramatic
successes soon spread far beyond the confines of his practice. Strangers
started calling to ask for a copy of the diet, and local news began featuring
stories of its popularity. Soon, the South Beach Diet was a bona fide
craze in Miami.
And no wonder. South Beach dieters lose 8 to 13 pounds in the first
2 weeks without feeling hungry. Dr. Agatston's plan allows you to eat
the foods you love--meat and fish, cheese, healthy oils and nuts, vegetables,
and the right carbohydrates and sweets. There's no mandatory exercise,
and best of all, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first.
From the Back Cover
The Diet Everyone's Talking About
"I have tried every diet--including Weight Watchers, The Zone, Atkins,
Jenny Craig--and have had a difficult time staying on those programs.
The South Beach Diet is easy, simple, and delicious. If you want
live to be 103 and be shot by your lover's spouse instead of dying of
heart disease or diabetes, I suggest you try it!"
--Linda Richman, author of I'd Rather Laugh
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.
So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't
complicated, and it 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, you'll
eat until you're no longer hungry.
Dr. Agatston's diet produced such consistently dramatic results
(8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) that it became a media sensation
in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous
with The South Beach Diet.
