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.

The Diet Everyone's Talking About
"I have tried every diet--including Weight Watchers, The Zone, Atkins, Jenny Craig--and have had a difficult time staying on those programs. "The South Beach Diet" is easy, simple, and delicious. If you want live to be 103 and be shot by your lover's spouse instead of dying of heart disease or diabetes, I suggest you try it!"--Linda Richman, author of" I'd Rather Laugh"
For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, 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. Agatston 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 eat until you're no longer hungry.
Dr. Agatston's diet produced such consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) that it became a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with "The South Beach Diet."

La dieta que todos estan comentando
"He probado todas las dietas-- entre ellas Weight Watchers, La Zona, Atkins, Jenny Craig-- y me ha costado mucho trabajo seguirlas. La dieta South Beach es facil, sencilla y deliciosa."
--Linda Richman, autora de "I'd Rather Laugh" (Prefiero reirme)
Durante anos, el cardiologo Arthur Agatston urgia a sus pacientes a perder peso por el bien de sus corazones, pero las dietas resultaron demasiado dificiles de seguir o muy severas. Algunas eran hasta peligrosas. Aparentemente nadie podia seguir los regimenes bajos en grasa durante mucho tiempo. Y una dieta no sirve para nada si uno no la puede seguir.
Por lo tanto, el Agatston invento su propia dieta. La dieta South Beach no es complicada y tampoco requiere que se pase hambre. Disfrutara porciones normales de carne, aves y pescado. Tambien disfrutara huevos, queso, frutos secos y verduras. Las meriendas (refrigerios, tentempies) tambien son de rigor en esta dieta. Aprendera a evitar los carbohidratos malos como la harina blanca, el azucar blanca y las papas al horno. Lo mejor de todo es que a medida que adelgace, perdera esa terca grasa abdominal "primero"!
La dieta del Dr. Agatston ha producido resultados que han sido constantemente impactantes (un perdida de entre 8 y 13 libras durante las primeras 2 semanas!) y ha creado un furor en los medios de comunicacion del sur de la Florida. Ahora usted tambien puede unirse a las filas de los que ahora ostentan figuras fabulosas gracias a la dieta South Beach.
"El Dr. Agatston es un destacado cardiologo que ha hecho muchas aportaciones, pero la dieta South Beach bien podria ser la mejor de todas. Que conste que no se trata de otro 'librode dieta mas.' Se trata de un libro acerca de la salud y el bienestar."--Dr. Randolph P. Martin, director de cardiologia no invasiva en el Hospital de la Universidad Emory en Atlanta
