Product Description
THE DIET EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT!
Developed by noted Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston for his patients, THE SOUTH BEACH DIET became a national phenomenon-because it works. It’s not low fat. It’s not low carbs. It teaches you to use the right carbs and the right fats to change your body chemistry to burn fat, help reduce your cholesterol, and help prevent metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). As a result, you’ll lose weight quickly and safely.

I gave the book 2 stars because Agatston obviously means well. That said, I didn’t get back (yes I said get back) to my original weight until liposuction operation #4. I gained 36 lbs. in a little over 2 months. Around day 30 the whispering began–”Hey, look at that fatass” or “Hey, there’s the South Beach Whale”. Suffice to say, these comments motivated me to make more money so I could afford more liposuction sugeries. Like they say, there’s always a silver lining. I did make more money and despite blowing a few thousand on a drug/alcohol bender that lasted for a couple of weeks, I was able to afford Dr. Van Velvo’s lipo fees. The point I’m trying to make is that these books think that exercise is the “way to go”. I’m too busy to exercise. Lipo is the bomb. Obviously, Agatston is biased against lipo doctors. Does he come out and say that? No. My question throughout was what are you hiding from me Agatston? Huh? I mean the audio version was just some jerk reading the SAME book. What’s that all about?
Rating: 2 / 5
I find it amazing that the book starts out with “not low carb”. That’s exactly what it is. To me its just a rehash of the Atkin’s plan which, I personally, think is incredibly unhealthy. I read it and immediately got rid of it. It gets two stars for a few good recipes.

I just started to get into the South Beach Diet and I think this may do the trick; if one follows it correctly. I will write back when I have lost some weight and give a better critique.

forget these weight loss fad books. You need to know about how to survive in our messed up system of health care!
