Great food that's good for you--that's the foundation of the South Beach Diet and the reason millions of people around the world have adopted it as their lifelong eating plan, shedding unwanted pounds in the process. Created by leading Miami cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., the diet emphasizes good fats and good carbohydrates, the kind that stave off cravings for unhealthy sugary food and promote long-term weight loss. It's not ''diet'' food--it's satisfying, flavorful dishes that are good for your health and your waistline.
Whether you're already a South Beach Diet success story or brand-new to the program, you'll find a wealth of inspiration in The South Beach Diet Cookbook to keep you on track without feeling deprived. The recipes are simple enough to make every day but delicious enough to serve on any occasion: Oatmeal Pancakes, Buttermilk Salmon Chowder, Caribbean Baked Chicken with Mango, Grilled Filet Mignon with Roasted Garlic Chipotle Pepper Chimichurri, Mexican Lasagna, Sage and Rosemary Pork, Red Snapper with Avocado Salsa, Thai Vegetable Stir-Fry, and Chocolate Pie with Crispy Peanut Butter Crust. Each recipe is marked ''Phase 1,'' ''Phase 2,'' or ''Phase 3,'' so you'll know immediately where it falls in the diet; there are also 25 all-new recipes from the top chefs and restaurants in Miami. Illustrated with 50 full-color photographs and packed with extras like shopping lists and a pantry guide, The South Beach Diet Cookbook is an essential addition to your kitchen shelf.
What Others Say
Maybe too fancy?
There are many good recipes in The South Beach Diet Cookbook (The South Beach Diet), but I would like to see more "normal" or comfort food recipes modified to work with the South Beach diet.
OK but not what I wanted
The cookbook was not the one I really wanted. I found out that I wanted the "quick and easy" recipes. This one is more involved than I wanted.
Best Cook Book I Ever Bought.
I bought The South Beach Diet Cookbook (The South Beach Diet) book to follow up with the SouthBeach Diet Book. This cook book added such a great variety to our meals. My husband said, "If these are the meals I'm eating on this diet, I'll stay on this diet forever." They're delicious and easy to prepare. Thanks for a new eating lifestyle...
South Beach Diet Cookbook
Very useful tool when going on this diet. Helps w/ having variety to eat while in phase 1, 2 and 3. Very timely delivery.
Now that's what I like - diet recipes that are also tasty!
The recipe book and its companion paperback guide make it easy to sort out where all the "sugar" and "fats" are hidden in the prepared foods at the grocery store so you can make healthy decisions according to your own needs. The recipes are good - some a bit too fancy for our tastes - but all can me modified with the foods and spices on the lists that you like. We've also found several new favorites!
