Notes: 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 carb. This clinically proven, healthy plan to lose weight and keep it off teaches you how to eat the right carbs and the right fats. In addition, the South Beach Diet will help reduce your cholesterol as well as help prevent metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). As a result, you'll lose weight safely and keep it off. Dr. Agatston's plan allows you to eat many of the foods you love—lean meat and fish, low-fat cheese, healthy oils and nuts, vegetables, and the right carbohydrates. Even desserts are included. You're never left hungry. Structured in three simple phases, this may be the easiest diet that you've ever tried. PHASE ONE: Say goodbye to bad-for-you "goodies"! Your cravings will disappear. PHASE TWO: Your stomach is visibly smaller and favorite foods are back on the menu! You continue to lose weight at a slower rate until you reach your goal. PHASE THREE: You've learned how to make good food choices, even recognizing that the occasional cheat is part of that lifestyle. You will keep your ideal weight... and maintain your health and vitality. WITH RECIPES AND MEAL PLANS FOR EACH PHASE!
