Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Balsamic vinaigrette

    • FoodSleuth on January 18, 2015

      Makes green salads tastes fresh and inviting for dieters.

  • Chicken en papillote

    • spharo00 on April 04, 2012

      The chicken and vegetables inside the parchment were very moist and flavorful. The tarragon and orange zest really put it over the top. I served this with a salad and boiled red potatoes.

  • Cracked pepper steak

    • MWFhome on May 24, 2014

      A great, tasty way to enjoy steak; can be cooked on a grill.

  • Pan-roasted steak and onions

    • spharo00 on January 27, 2013

      I made the mistake of buying the wrong cut of meat for this recipe and so it was a bit too tough by the time I finished cooking it. The onion mixture was delicious served over the top of the steak. I actually prefer this dish made with chicken. I've done that several times and it is always so good.

Publishers Text

For years, cardiologist Arthur Agaston, 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. Agaston 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 lose that stubborn belly fat first!

Dr. Agaston'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.
