The Souty Beach Diet
Another FAD diet. Not low carb if you eat kidney beans, black beans, etc. during the first phase. I followed for 2 weeks and exercised 4 times a week and lost 1/2 pound. Atkins is more effective and CALORIES do count. It not what you eat; it's whats... more

Finally, A Diet Book That Makes Sense
The South Beach Diet is the best diet book I've ever read, and I've read many. Dr. Agatston's diet is easy to understand and can be followed by those of us without monumental willpower. The recipes are worthy of a cookbook and seem easy to make. This... more

This book is a tremendous breakthrough in the world of health. One of te reason for this is that it was not only designed by one of the most renowned cardiologists in the country, but it wasn't initially designed to be a diet! It was designed to change... more

Not for everybody, but worked for me!
The main criticism of this book seems to be that it skips around too much and is somewhat poorly organized, and that it is just a makeover of Atkins. The first criticism is true, you did have to search around in the book a bit, but he gives Atkins... more
