Editorial Review:

George lost weight with Stella Style: "eating fresh foods, using low-carb ingredients to reinvent your old favorites, developing better eating habits, and, most of all -- eating food you love!" And he wasn't the only one: The entire Stella family shed more than 560 pounds.

In Livin' Low Carb, George has brought together more than 125 of the Stella family's favorite recipes. For breakfast there are Blueberry Pancakes or George's Gorgeous Macadamia Banana Muffins. For lunch or dinner try Low-Carb Pizza, Tequila Chicken Quesadillas, Spaghetti Squash Alfredo, Lasagna, Anaheim Shrimp Scampi, and Southern Fried Chicken. And don't forget soups, salads, and vegetables! You'll find recipes here for Key West Caesar Salad, Turkey Vegetable Soup, and Garlic Mock Mashed Potatoes. If it's sweets you crave, try Chocolate Pecan Brownies or New York Ricotta Cheesecake. There are also party recipes (Nutty Muddy Trail Mix, Teriyaki Sesame Tuna Skewers), tasty drink concoctions (Strawberry Milkshakes, Lemon-Lime Slushees), and a wide array of condiments and dressings (including Quick and Easy Ketchup and Thousand Island Dressing).

These recipes feature easy-to-find, low-carb ingredients that will fit any budget. More than just a cookbook, Livin' Low Carb is a practical guide to a sustainable low-carb lifestyle.

Editorial Review:

Psychologist and professor Seth Roberts has spent years analyzing why most diets don't work. A maverick with a curious mind, and a yen for self-experimentation, he started by asking a simple question most experts haven't tackled: What makes us feel hungry in the first place?

After scouring the scientific literature and tirelessly testing various theories and practices, Roberts hit upon a simple, effective strategy for controlling the body's internal "set point"- that is, the thermostat that controls weight gain or loss. The solution was counterintuitive: By taking two daily servings of either extra-light olive oil or plain sugar water, he took control of his appetite, with astonishing results. Roberts lost thirty-five pounds in only three months, and he has kept it off for five years. Since then, others have replicated these results, and formal clinical trials will soon be under way.

With the publication of this unique and groundbreaking book, Seth Roberts's program will be available to anyone who wants to lose weight-a little or a lot-and keep it off. The Shangri-La Diet includes specific instructions for tailoring the program for individual needs and goals, as well as expert tips, variations, success stories, and an illuminating explanation of how Roberts devised the diet and why it works so well.

A diet program simple enough for anyone to try, The Shangri-La Diet has the potential to radically change the way we think about weight loss-and deliver remarkably easy, sustainable results.

Heaven Sent! 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this book after two of my coworkers went on this diet and both lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks. I've been following the program for a little over a week and have lost 7 lbs already! The best part about it is I FEEL healthier and more energetic. This is not so much a diet as a new lifestyle. I was crazy addicted to a lot of unhealthy things but this book ahowed me how to have things I love but in a healthier way. I've never felt deprived as the plan allows (in fact, encourages) eating all through the day. I am finally losing the pounds that run-of-the-mill deit and excercise couldn't budge after years of effort. I Couldn't be happier!

Editorial Review:

La dieta que todos están comentando

Durante años, el cardiólogo Arthur Agatston urgía a sus pacientes a perder peso por el bien de sus corazones, pero las dietas resultaron demasiado difíciles de seguir o muy severas. Algunas eran hasta peligrosas. Aparentemente nadie podía seguir los regímenes bajos en grasa durante mucho tiempo. Y una dieta no sirve para nada si uno no la puede seguir.

Por lo tanto, el Agatston inventó su propia dieta. La dieta South Beach no es complicada y tampoco requiere que se pase hambre. Disfrutará porciones normales de carne, aves y pescado. También disfrutará huevos, queso, frutos secos y verduras. Las meriendas (refrigerios, tentempiés) también son de rigor en esta dieta. Aprenderá a evitar los carbohidratos malos como la harina blanca, el azúcar blanca y las papas al horno. Lo mejor de todo es que a medida que adelgace, ¡perderá esa terca grasa abdominal primero!

La dieta del Dr. Agatston ha producido resultados que han sido constantemente impactantes (¡un pérdida de entre 8 y 13 libras durante las primeras 2 semanas!) y ha creado un furor en los medios de comunicación del sur de la Florida. Ahora usted también puede unirse a las filas de los que ahora ostentan figuras fabulosas gracias a la dieta South Beach.

Editorial Review:

The Diet Everyone's Talking

For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.

So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and it doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first!

Dr. Agatston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet.

best diet book out there 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I dropped 20 pounds in about two months. I never felt hungry or irritable and I almost always feel focussed and alert when I eat according to the guidelines. If you pay attention to everything you ingest and seriously follow the guidelines, then this will definitely work for you. It's not just about losing weight, it's about maximum performance potential. It's not a no carb diet, you actually eat more carbs than protein but you'll have to eat quality, complex carbs and limit your fat intake. It's the only book I've seen that presents every side of each element of the equation: what happens if you get too much protein, fat, carbs and what if you get too little of each. It's written in easy to understand English, with very basic calculations of exactly how much YOU should eat, according to your body fat, height, weight. I've never seen another diet that makes half as much sense as this one does.

Editorial Review:

The Zone explains in detail the underlying science behind the Zone and why you want to be there. With more than 1,000,000 hard copies in print, The Zone has been translated into nine languages and was the #1 best-selling nutrition/health book in 1996. This revolutionary approach to diet is a lifelong health program designed to bring the body into total balance. Food is not the enemy here, but rather a catalyst--the essential ingredient needed to allow the body to function at its absolute and efficient peak. This book prescribes easy-to-follow and nonrestrictive dietary guidelines based on maintaining a favorable ratio of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates--a balance that in turn stabilizes and maximizes the hormones that regulate our weight and height. The book supplies readers with charts,lists,and recipes designed to maintain a completely balanced diet.

This set was a gift for my in-laws, who loved it. The only major thing I was a little disappointed with was the fact that the dining out guide didn't have many of the restuarants in my area. I live in Vermont, and most of the restuarants can be found around the more populated places. On hindsight I would have bought the items seperately and probably skipped that one book, because it doesn't have any relevance in my area. Love the fact that the others are hardcover too. Overall a good buy.
