Five years ago, with the publication of The South Beach Diet, renowned Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston set out to change the way America eats. Now he has an even more ambitious goal: to change the way America lives by helping Americans become fitter as well as thinner and healthier . . . for life. In the all-new The South Beach Diet Supercharged, Dr. Agatston shows you how to rev up your metabolism and lose weight faster while following the proven healthy eating principles of the original diet: choose good carbs, good fats, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. Collaborating with Dr. Joseph Signorile, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Miami, Dr. Agatston presents a cutting-edge, three-phase workout that perfectly complements the three phases of the diet itself. Based on the latest exercise science, this ease-into-it fitness program combines low- and high-intensity interval exercise (with a focus on walking) and functional core body-toning exercises. The result: You'll look fitter and you'll burn more fat and calories all day even at rest. Also included is the latest nutritional research on how specific foods high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of phytonutrients help keep you healthy; new and expanded lists of Foods to Enjoy; taste-tempting Meal Plans for phases 1 and 2; and dozens of easy-to-prepare new recipes, including Eggs Frijoles, Chock-Full-of-Veggies Chili, Roasted Tomato Soup, Homestyle Turkey Meatloaf, and South Beach Diet Tiramisu. In every chapter you'll find inspiring success stories from real-life South Beach dieters and plenty of effective weight loss tips. And as an added bonus, Dr. Agatston answers the questions you've most often asked him about the diet since the original book was published.
Dr Arthur Agatson never stops producing a solid message.
We need more medical providers like Dr Agatson - to help stop chronic illnesses such as - Obesity, heart disease, hypertension, insulin resistance, diabetes, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Excellent job.
In addition - consider readingBefore the Heart Attacks: A Revolutionary Approach to Detecting, Preventing, and Even Reversing Heart Dise Dr Robert Superko's book - BEFORE THE HEART ATTACKS this would be another excellent companion book. As well as THE APO E GENE DIET: by Integrative Medicine Fellow - Pamela McDonald.

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.
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.
