3 out of 5 stars Poor organization   May 1, 2004
 12 out of 19 found this review helpful

Recipes in this book are helpful in fighting boredom if you are following the South Beach Diet. However, it is poorly organized...recipes are grouped by types (appetizers, main dishes, etc.) but not by stages. I am currently in stage two...do I want to look at appetizers and desserts for stage three right now? NO! To solve the problem, I had to go through the recipes and flag the recipes I can use at this stage...very time consuming.

As for the sodium issue, many products are available that are lower in sodium...as long as you are willing to accept lower in flavor as well...


4 out of 5 stars good recipes but too high in sodium   May 1, 2004

The recipes are excellent and help to stave off boredom from eating the same foods; providing good variety. However, they are very high in sodium. I do not have to watch my salt intake but I have been very thirsty using these recipes.


4 out of 5 stars Weighty on attraction; thin on recipes   April 28, 2004
 14 out of 18 found this review helpful

I've been following the South Beach Diet (SBD) for several months, and it's my own fault if I fall off the wagon. Thank goodness the SBD makes it easy to get back on track. So, when the SBD cookbook arrived, I was looking forward to seeing enough recipes to carry us from Phase I through III. However, there appears to be an imbalance in the number of recipes offered for each phase, being very thin on Phases I and III. While the color-coding for each phase is nice, perhaps it would have been better to organize them in chapters, like the original book.

Not a complete disappointment, the SBD Cookbook is attractively presented. So, are we to expect a sequel: Phase III - SBD for Life?


5 out of 5 stars This will help!   April 26, 2004

This book will help you more effectively take part in the South Beach diet revolution. Also, there are some great products that one could purchase to aid in their efforts at www.totalbodywellness.net password: healthybody
It is quite neat.



4 out of 5 stars Great recipes but...not so great on recipe organization   April 25, 2004
 18 out of 22 found this review helpful

I have been on the South Beach Diet for a few months now (and have lost 20+ pounds!) so I was eager for the day that this book would be released.

I am happy with all of the recipes but was disappointed in the way they were organized. They are organized into different categories such as breakfasts, appetizers, side dishes, etc. which is wonderful but under each of these categories, they should have grouped recipes for each phase together.

Bottom line: Great book but a little clumsy to use.
