 FASTER WEIGHT LOSS with THE SOUTH BEACH DIET SUPER CHARGED! July 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dr. Agatston's new book "The South Beach Diet Super Charged" is an excellent way to lose weight and get in shape. Like his first book, "The South Beach Diet" this book explains how to eat for a healthy lifestyle, choosing high fiber, nutritious carbohydrates, good unsaturated fats, lean protein and low fat dairy.
This book takes the South Beach Diet to the next level by explaining a very simple yet body transforming exercise plan. Agatston explains how just 20 minutes of exercise a day done correctly can give the beneficial results of revving up your metabolism, overcoming weight loss plateaus and burning fat and calories.
The book includes a healthy eating plan and a daily exercise regime that is very doable! I am sure Dr. Agatston is a busy man and had help writing this book. I have to applaud the ghostwriter(s) for their very clear, concise way of explaining things. Many diet and exercise books are confusing; what to eat, when and where. This book lays everything out. There is a fitness plan that tells you exactly what to do in Phase 1, 2 and 3. Clear photographs support the plan. The eating program is laid out so it is simple to understand with easy to follow lists of exactly what you can and cannot eat during each Phase. Two full weeks of meal plans are included in the book along with recipes such as "Chicken and Lentil Stew", "Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies" and "Stir Fried Chicken with Soba Noodles". No pics for the recipes but nutritional information is included.
The 337 page hardcover book also includes tips and tricks on success for the plan. And a section on how to maintain your weight loss and an index for easy search.
Overall an excellent, healthy plan. I also recommend and love the DVD that supplements the book, "The South Beach Diet Super Charged Workout".

We thought the old diet plan was good; this one is better, with the emphasis on lifestyle change, and the food plan is easier to follow too. I FEEL better, even though I am not trying to lose weight, and my husband is finding it easier to stick with.
Super Charged and Motivated July 16, 2008

Two years ago I jumped on the South Beach Band Wagon and pretty painlessly lost 35 pounds. I felt better and looked younger than I had in years. Then, slowly and insiduously, I fell off the wagon. I avoided the scale and tried to ignore the fact that my new wardrobe was becoming a bit, well, snug. Finally I broke down and stood on the scale. It was a "Come to Jesus" moment. I was shocked to realize that I'd regained 15 pounds.
As luck would have it, the new and updated South Beach Diet Supercharged book had just been released, so I purchased a copy to refresh my memory on the philosophy and mechanics of the diet.
Good carbs, good fats. It's simple, really. Dr. Agatston explains his recommendations and provides solid data to back up his theories. I was pleased to see that the updated version also included some fascinating information on what type of exercise is most beneficial, and why. Sprinkled throughout the volume are personal success stories for some extra encouragement. I must say that the book left me feeling motivated and ready to get back on track with an eating and exercise plan that truly make sense to me.
This book is highly recommended if you're serious about making positive changes--and not just for the sake of your appearance. The South Beach Diet Supercharged gives basic ground rules for embracing a much healthier life style.
Better results than I ever expected! July 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I decided to give the South Beach Diet a try. I just completed Phase I and have lost 11 pounds in 14 days! As a woman with PCOS, I have never lost weight this easily. After the first few days, it gets easier and I don't even miss the sugar or starchy carbs. I love the meal plan ideas, and all of the recipes in this book that I have tried are really good. I am also a vegetarian and I like the fact that this diet is easily adapted for vegetarians. I feel great and am not hungry on this plan. I only wish I had read this book a long time ago.

If you have the original or if you have some idea of what the book says, don't waste your time. Nothing new. I think the good doctor just wanted to see if he could make an extra couple bucks. Good diet to follow however!
