Seems more balanced than the Atkins diet and enjoyed the tasty recipes and snacks. Worthwhile reading on health and nutrition.

This is a great recipe book. I have tried several of them and have enjoyed it. One in particular is the spinach mini quiches. They are made in muffin tins-super easy to make and a delicious, on the run breakfast. The book is full of good ideas and really fresh recipes. Great summer food.

No carbs for two weeks, then start adding things back in slowly.
This book is well researched, easy to read, and makes good sense to me. I have a good, standard understanding of nutrition and how the human body works as a machine. Calories as fuel, if not used then they are stored. This book reiterates that principle and shows you how the KIND of calories matters, especially when trying to trim/slim and make your machine work more efficiently.
I have been adhering to the SBD principles for about 6 weeks now and have lost approx 18-20lbs. The plan and course of action works. I keep it by my bed for "reminder" reading from time to time.

While not an avid Southbeach follower, this book has some good recipes that are healthy and low in carbs. It particularly has some great main dish salad recipes (the Dilled Shrimp Salad is a favorite) and just makes you think about cooking in a more healthy way.

This diet was excellent for me in high school and I wanted to fit into a prom dress. It's great for people who need to cut back on sugar and it's simple to follow!
Makes good sense for weight loss and healthy eating long term. Great recipes too!

The South Beach Diet works!! Try it!!
This is BRAND NEW. Great book and great diet!
The delicious, doctor-designed, foolproof plan for fast and healthy weight loss.
This is an interesting diet book. Very different from your regular types of diets. Easy to read and understand
This is a good diet - I did make my own adjustments, if you are looking for a different diet, it may be worth the read.
I am not dieting, I have changed my lifestyle and now I will always live on the Beach! :-D
This book is fantastic. Between the two of us, my husband and I have lost over 100 lbs. I love to cook, and the recipes are full of fresh flavors, and are easy to make. You will soon learn to adapt your own recipes to be South Beach friendly...and best of all...you get to eat a lot of food...all day long.
Tried it, but didn't like it. Although better than Atkins, its still a fad diet.
Yummy receipes even if you don't follow the diet!
Good recipes and a popular diet that is tasty and healthy!
This is not my type of diet. I just couldn't stick with it. Once I read the first chapter, it was all over for me!
This book is an easy read and provides recipes and charts. I lost 20 pounds!
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 teaches you how to eat the right carbs and the rights 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.
This is a great book if you are trying new ways to lose weight. There are recipes and plans in it. Very interesting.
Recipes and advice for those who want to try the South Beach Diet. No- I didn't try the diet - I just inherited the book from a friend.
A lengthy explanation of the South Beach Diet along with a lot of "real life" stories and a few recipes. The diet has worked amazingly well for my husband and sister in law. Less so for myself, frankly my own eating habits are not far off from his recommendations so weight loss is slow and minimal. But Sister in law lost 60 lbs. in about 9 months and husband 15-20 lbs. in just a month.
Very helpful so helpful I am 1/2 way to my weight loss goal. I'm only parting with this book because I'm upgrading to the newest one.
Tons of recipes, if you like to cook, this can help with your menu and your diet.
Doesn't require that you starve yourself. You can still eat normal size helpings of meat, poultry and fish. Snacks are required. Includes meal plans.
While it wasn't the diet for me, it did work. Interesting take on how to eat.
I lost 20 pounds!
This diet is hitting the nation with full force. This book contains great recipes to stick with the diet for good.
Good information and great recipes!
Very interesting. Tring out diet now
This diet works if you will.
I thought it was very informative.
In great condition.
The recipes are basic, but effective.
This will really help you with weight loss.
Great book with great recipies. I even marked a few of my favorites.
Surprisingly good at what it sets out to do.
Great book! It taught me a lot what to eat and what NOT to eat. I have lost at least 18 pounds in the span of a few months and have kept the weight off!
Nice book but a bit complicated for me, I guess I'm kind of lazy ?
Good reading for anyone on a diet
I need carbs, this did not work for me.
The delicious, doctor-designed, foolproof plan for fast and healthy weight loss.
it's brand new and has lots of great recipes and ideas! i wasn't using it. maybe you will!
Brand new!
I did not get the chance to read this one.
