| Editorial Reviews: | |  |  | | The verdict is in: those simple carbohydrates we've been living on are killing us. For good health, we've got to get our blood sugar under control and stop the incessant cravings. Or so says Dr Arthur Agatston, author of The South Beach Diet. The first half of the book details the science behind the diet. Most of the explanations revolve around why things you thought were healthy--orange juice, wholemeal bread, carrots--are actually evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston created a modified carbohydrate plan, recommending plenty of high-fibre food, lean protein and healthy fat and reducing bread, rice, pasta and fruit. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a serious indifference to exercise. Feeling full while on a diet is a beautiful thing, but it seems odd that a cardiologist buries his exercise recommendations in a solitary sentence. The last half of the book covers his three-stage plan; daily diets are mixed with recipes, some of which are from South Beach restaurant chefs. The most restrictive period lasts just two weeks, enough time to stabilise your urges and lose a few pounds; stage two adds fruits and a handful of other carbs, while stage three is meant to last the remainder of your life, with occasional lapses for white bread or birthday cake. While the diet is sound, the book could be better organised. The first half mixes scientific study with anecdote in a seemingly random way, while the mix of meal plans and recipes can be confusing. Still, the recipes are varied and tasty and you'll never feel deprived, unless you currently happen to live by bread alone. --Jill Lightner |  |  | | The verdict is in: those simple carbs we've been living on are killing us.

|  | War schon länger auf der Suche nach einer langfristigen Ernährungsumstellung als ich dieses Buch bei Amazon.com auf der US Bestsellerliste sah und unbedingt probieren wollte. Diese Diät ist einfach genial, ich habe in 3 Monaten 8 Kilo abgenommen, und halte das Gewicht nunmehr seit 2 Monaten ganz locker. Mein Mann ist Fitnesstrainer und konnte gar nicht glauben, dass man ohne Sport so einen Erfolg verbuchen kann. (Besonders viel Energie für Sport hat man nämlich ehrlicher Weise zumindest während der ersten 2 Wochen nicht.)Irgendwie habe ich noch dazu an den richtigen Stellen abgenommen. Für mich war diese Diät einfach die richtige, vor allem weil sie so praktikabel ist. Gleich in der ersten Woche hatte ich ein Geschäftsessen - und konnte nach der Diät essen ohne wie vom Schlankheitswahn besessen zu wirken. Im Übrigen werden "Ausrutscher" nicht nur verziehen, sie werden sogar fast erwartet. Eine langfristige Ernährungsumstellung war für mich nur dann realistisch, wenn ich trotzdem hin und wieder Fast Food und Schokolade essen kann, und das kann man. Mit der amerikanischen Ausgabe tut man sich bei uns allerdings ein bisschen schwer, selbst wenn man die Mengenangaben umsetzen kann, sind nicht alle Produkte erhältlich. Aber auch wenn man (vernünftig) substituiert, tut das der Diät keinen Abbruch. Bin gespannt, ob die deutsche Ausgabe hier Abhilfe schafft. Ich kann diese Diät nur uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen, ob sie für den einzelnen die richtige ist, muss natürlich jeder selbst entscheiden.
