5 out of 5 stars SUPERCHARGE WITH THE SOUTH BEACH DIET   October 10, 2008

The South Beach Diet Supercharged reinforces the South Beach way of eating involving good carbs, good fats, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. This new book includes a three-phase workout to go along with the three-phase diet plan. The diet phases are:
Phase 1: Eat lean protein, high-fiber legumes, low-fat dairy, good fats (including some nuts), and plenty of vegetables. There are no highly processed refined carbs allowed. This phase is supposed to jump-start weight loss, control blood sugar swings, and eliminate cravings for sugar and refined starches. Phase 1 usually continues for 2 weeks.
Phase 2: Introduce whole fruits and high-fiber whole grains to your diet while continuing with adequate protein such as fish, shellfish, chicken, turkey, lean beef or pork, or soy protein.
Phase 3: Eating is not regulated and the book allows an occasional sugary food or bagel, though does not recommend going back to your old habits.

The exercise program combines both high intensity and low intensity interval exercise focusing on a 10 week walking program, as well as a shaping and toning exercise program of 27 exercises with photos.

Also included are new meal plans for Phase 1 and Phase 2, expanded lists of foods to eat and foods to avoid for Phase 1 and Phase 2, latest nutrition research, testimonials, weight loss tips, Q & A based on reader questions, and many excellent recipes (Turkey Meatloaf, Veggie Chili, etc.).

The basic diet advice of low sugar while emphasizing high-fiber, nutrient-rich carbohydrates, healthy fats, lean protein, and low-fat dairy is sound. This updated version of the South Beach diet is a good book for learning about healthy eating, and it includes a moderate and beneficial exercise program. It is a reasonable and well-documented approach to a healthy lifestyle. I also recommend [[ASIN:097974590X THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams]]and The 2007 Second Expert Report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective.



4 out of 5 stars South Beach Diet   October 7, 2008
This particular book is great for someone wanting to know all about the South Beach Diet. It includes lots of recipes as well as sample meals which I find handy since I'm not very creative in figuring out what to eat. This book also includes a section on exercising and why it's important. I would highly recommend this book if you are planning on changing your eating habits and lose weight as a bonus!

Another great book by the good doctor. First time ever that I have kept losing weight, not lost sight of the goal and kept on the diet. It is so easy, you wonder if you are missing something. A MUST for those who want to lose weight.
