 Supercharge Me! I have been a fan of the South Beach diet ever since the first book came out five years ago and have lost 40 pounds and kept it off (I do have a ways to go). Needless to say, I have been anxiously waiting for Dr. Agatston to update his original book and I love this new version. I am so glad to have the expanded lists of Foods to Enjoy for Phases 1 and 2 and all the suggestions for easy one-dish meals as well as the great ideas for soups, rolls and wraps, new desserts, and healthy salad dressings. These new features alone are worth the price of the book! Oh, and another good thing. I've never worked out before because I really don't have an hour to spend, but I am looking forward trying Dr. Agatston's new 20-minute a day exercise program (I do have 20 minutes!) Thanks Dr. Agatston for truly supercharging your great diet. It's Real World On South Beach The diet plan was always a smart, realistic plan for dropping pounds and eating healty. Now there's this simple walking and exercise plan that really makes the South Beach Diet a total lifestyle approach. It fits seamlessly into my busy schedule. Thank you Dr. Agatston for offering the total package. There are so many ways to succeed with the The South Beach Diet. It doesn't make me feel guilty, deprived or set me up to fail like most short-term eating plans. This is the real deal. SUPERCHARGE WITH EXERCISE! The South Beach Diet Supercharged reinforces the South Beach way of eating involving good carbs, good fats, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. This new book includes a three-phase workout to go along with the three-phase diet plan. The diet phases are: Phase 1: Eat lean protein, high-fiber legumes, low-fat dairy, good fats (including some nuts), and plenty of vegetables. There are no highly processed refined carbs allowed. This phase is supposed to jump-start weight loss, control blood sugar swings, and eliminate cravings for sugar and refined starches. Phase 1 usually continues for 2 weeks. Phase 2: Introduce whole fruits and high-fiber whole grains to your diet while continuing with adequate protein such as fish, shellfish, chicken, turkey, lean beef or pork, or soy protein. Phase 3: Eating is not regulated and the book allows an occasional sugary food or bagel, though does not recommend going back to your old habits. The exercise program combines both high intensity and low intensity interval exercise focusing on a 10 week walking program, as well as a shaping and toning exercise program of 27 exercises with photos. Also included are new meal plans for Phase 1 and Phase 2, expanded lists of foods to eat and foods to avoid for Phase 1 and Phase 2, latest nutrition research, testimonials, weight loss tips, Q & A based on reader questions, and many excellent recipes (Turkey Meatloaf, Veggie Chili, etc.). The basic diet advice of low sugar while emphasizing high-fiber, nutrient-rich carbohydrates, healthy fats, lean protein, and low-fat dairy is sound. This updated version of the South Beach diet is a good book for learning about healthy eating, and it includes a moderate and beneficial exercise program. It is a reasonable and well-documented approach to a healthy lifestyle. I also recommend THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams Supercharged Results! Dr. Arthur Agatston really changed the way America eats when he published The South Beach Diet in 2003. As a direct result, we now have a broader choice of whole grain breads, pasta etc. and people know the difference between good fats and bad fats. We understand that "calories in-calories out" is a simplistic old fashioned phrased and that the quality of the calories is significantly more important. Dr. Agatston's nutrient rich, fiber dense approach to dieting is what has made The South Beach Diet an international bestseller. His NEW book, The South Beach Diet Supercharged introduces a three-phased interval training program to go along with the diet. It promises to rev up your metabolism, get you off plateaus faster, and keep your body melting fat, even at rest. The new meal plans, expanded foods to enjoy/food to avoid lists, and the inspirational success stories will have you racing toward your own personal weight loss goal in record time. The new research just out about metabolic syndrome responding to interval training further backs up Dr. Agatston's new program. This is breakthrough stuff. I highly recommend it. | |||||||||||||
