The South Beach Diet Cookbook: More than 200 Delicious Recipes That Fit the Nation's Top Diet
Arthur Agatston
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 34
Cardiologist Agatston (The South Beach Diet) follows up his
blockbuster book on weight-loss with this volume of more than 200 recipes,
a number of which are culled from the kitchens of chefs in Miami Beach and
other cities.
Each recipe is designated as Phase 1, 2 or 3 to help readers
discern the segment of the diet for which they are appropriate.
Carbohydrates are off-limits during Phase 1, but "good carbs" (like whole
grains) are gradually reintroduced in Phase 2.
Phase 3 segues into a less
restrictive but still healthy eating regimen. Among the Phase 1 recipes
are the simple Reuben Wrap (which calls for cabbage leaves instead of
bread; the author notes readers "will have to have a 'rye' sense of humor
for this"), as well as more complex main dishes such as Coconut Chicken and
Sage and Rosemary Pork.
Phase 2 and 3 eaters will find delicious options
such as Sesame Baked Chicken, Crab Royale and Couscous Salad.
Noting that
a variety of foods and recipes combats the repetition and boredom that are
many dieters' downfall, Agatston presents a wide array of choices, with
plenty of enticing fish and vegetarian dishes. He also includes
breakfasts, snacks and desserts, as well as ideas for home entertaining
"South Beach-style" with a focus on fresh veggies, fat-free dips, shrimp
and nuts for appetizers, and main dishes of grilled tuna or flank steak.
Agatston leaves no stone unturned, even providing shopping lists and
recipes for homemade condiments that forgo sugars. Copyright ©

recipe ideas. Most are easy enough to prepare. Some are keepers, some
stinkers. My fave? Red Snapper with Avocado Salsa. |
