The South Beach Diet Supercharged Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life

Five years ago, with the publication of The South Beach Diet, renowned Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston set out to change the way America eats. Now he has an even more ambitious goal: to change the way America lives by helping Americans become fitter as well as thinner and healthier…for life.

In the all-new The South Beach Diet Supercharged, Dr. Agatston shows you how to rev up your metabolism and lose weight faster while following the proven healthy eating principles of the original diet: choose good carbs, good fats, lean protein, and low-fat dairy.

Collaborating with Dr. Joseph Signorile, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Miami, Dr. Agatston presents a cutting-edge, three-phase workout that perfectly complements the three phases of the diet itself. Based on the latest exercise science, this ease-into-it fitness program combines low- and high-intensity interval exercise (with a focus on walking) and functional core body-toning exercises. The result: you’ll look fitter and you’ll burn more fat and calories all day–even at rest.

Also included is the latest nutritional research on how specific foods high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of phytonutrients help keep you healthy; new and expanded lists of Foods to Enjoy; taste-tempting Meal Plans for phases 1 and 2; and dozens of easy-to-prepare new recipes, including Eggs Frijoles, Chock-Full-of-Veggies Chili, Roasted Tomato Soup, Homestyle Turkey Meatloaf, and South Beach Diet Tiramisu. In every chapter you’ll find inspiring success stories from real-life South Beach dieters and plenty of effective weight loss tips. And as an added bonus, Dr. Agatston answers the questions you’ve most often asked him about the diet since the original book was published.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars a little more information
The new addition to the South Beach diet books is pretty much a repeat of the first book. The only real difference is that there are step by step exercises outlined. If you already have the first book and have a handle on your exercise, then don’t bother. I thought that there would at least be some new recipes but all of the recipes in this book are in the other South Beach Diet books.

5 Stars Good Service
The book I ordered was securely wrapped, shipped promptly and was in perfect condition when it arrived. The nutritional value of the plans present would appear to be much more logical than that used by Atkins. I’d do business with this supplier again, no reservations.

5 Stars Slow but Sure
The South Beach diet is one healthy, slow, sure way to loose weight and keep it off. This book is the bible of the program.

5 Stars Easy to follow
I have always tried to lose weight using the Hilton Head Metabolism Diet. While it works, I was always left feeling very hungry. The South Beach Diet was recommended to me by several friends. I have 40 pounds to lose after giving birth to twins. The first week of this diet was hard because I was more addicted to sugar than I realized. I felt sluggish and had dark circles under my eyes. After the first week, I felt outstanding. I have more energy and have not felt the need to “cheat” once. I’m not a fish eater but I still find this easy to follow. My favorite recipe is the Turkey Meatloaf. I’m starting the 4th week and have lost 10+ pounds (in all the right places). This book has taught me how to eat better.

5 Stars South Beach Diet
I thought this updated version of the earlier book was much clearer and easier to follow. I like the exercises that are included, especially the fact that they are very doable. If you are ready to get your act together, you will appreciate this book.

3 Stars Not for Weight Watcher’s but has some good features
I downloaded the trial version because they said on their website that it worked with the Weight Watcher’s diet and many other diets. When you fill in your profile, it has a place to mark which diet you are using, but that is about as far as that goes. There is no way to add point values to food, therefore no way to track your points. So it was useless for my particular needs.

However, out of all the programs I have tried, it was the easiest to start using. They have easy to follow videos on their website to help you get started. I also liked that it tells you when you are low or high in a certain nutrient (compared to the RDA). It would have helped track my chronically low magnesium, iron, and vitamin A.

If you want software to track your calorie and nutrient intake and suggest your daily calorie budget, I think this would work really well. It does not, however, do all they suggest.

5 Stars Diet Power WORKS as long as you do
I have been using Diet Power on and off for the last 3 years. The first time I used it I dropped 50 pounds in about 6 months but it was NOT EASY. It takes discipline and lots of working out. I am not by nature a disciplined person, so it took some getting used to. Truth be told, I gained it all back because I stopped using Diet Power and got into old habits. I am now working on losing it again, and am down 15 pounds over three weeks.

Diet Power does not do the work for you, and the information you get from it is only as good as the information you provide. It calculates your Metabolic Rate (which is also the number of calories you must consume to maintain your current weight). It then provides you with a calorie budget that is well below your metabolic rate. As long as you log your food faithfully and honestly and stay within your calorie budget YOU WILL LOSE weight. It is based on scientific fact.

I will admit the program takes some getting used to, and if you plan to use it seriously, invest in a food scale, because you need to be very precise. What I like about it is that it doesn’t judge and it doesn’t restrict any food.

While in a sense you can “Eat anything you want” you do need to stay within your daily calorie budget. You will quickly realize however that while you CAN eat ice cream for example, if you do, you will use up your calorie budget VERY fast. But if you have a sweet tooth and cant live without a scoop of Ice Cream, GO FOR IT! It won’t kill you and as long as you stay within your budget, again, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT!

Its not a miracle. Its not a gimmick. Diet Power works, but you have to do the heavy lifting.

5 Stars Great program and super easy to use
I love this program! I have also used FitDay which is a very good program, but not as good as Diet Power. Diet Power has the Water Minder and Nutrition Quotient which are great! The Diet Power website also has some great help files, but I didn’t need very many because the program is pretty self-explanatory.

I have lost almost 40 pounds in 6 months, but I also plan on using this program after I meet my goal so that I can learn what I need to do to maintain my weight and eat and exercise properly. It only takes about a total of 5 minutes a day to enter your food intake and exercise, so I don’t think that is too much to ask for having a healthy weight.

2 Stars Not That Good
A very complicated program and does not work well for someone who is a vegetarian vegan. Received a CD only, not even in a box. No instruction book. I feel I wasted my money. Have not figured out the program and have given up. Bite the bullet in this purchase. Do not recommend.

Breakthrough Eight Steps to Wellness

Life-Altering Secrets from Today’s Cutting-Edge Doctors and the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Ageless

Today’s most trusted advocate of anti­aging medicine, Suzanne Somers, deepens her commitment to helping people lead healthier, happier lives by opening their eyes to cutting-edge, proven remedies and preventative care that most doctors just aren’t talking about with patients: longevity medicine and the more progressive study of bioidentical hormones.

As we age, certain hormones diminish, creating an imbalance that can set off everything from perimenopause to cancer, beginning as early as our thirties. This hormonal imbalance is causing many to feel depressed, anxious, fatigued, sexless, sleepless, and ultimately ill, sometimes even terminally. What’s more, Somers and twenty doctors in the field of antiaging medicine argue that the processed chemicals in foods and pharmaceuticals we ply ourselves with are actually slowly eroding our bodies and minds. So we’re getting slammed twice. From estrogen dominance to deceptive thyroid problems, people are suffering, and most don’t have access to the treatment they truly need to get better and thrive . . . until now.

Breakthrough explores cutting-edge science and delivers smart, proactive advice on the newest treatments for breakthrough health and longevity.

In addition to being a pioneer in a rapidly growing health field, Somers is a passionate, caring individual whose own life was derailed by disease and brought back to unimaginable, feel good heights that she wants you, too, to experience.

5 Stars THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ ON HEALTH
This book is a life saver. I can’t say enough about how dead on Suzanne and her doctors are about health care and what we need to do to get off of too many prescription medications. If it weren’t for her knowledge and great doctors I would be miserable with hormones out of balance. Many doctors just want to prescribe mood altering drugs instead of getting to the bottom of the dysfunction. I can’t give this enough praise. Thank God for her. Lynn H. in Texas

5 Stars Breakthrough
This book is one of the best books I have read. My husband even enjoyed it and he never reads.

4 Stars Excellent guide to 21 century health options
I think this book has done important work for people that have doubt about the traditional medicine,and want to explore new ways of health management. In traditional medicine there are the vested powers and interest that we are up against. Fact is that modern medicine is able to extend lifespan but does not preserve well being in that process.

Enlightened doctors spearhead a new type of medicine that has the potential to extend life without compromising the quality of life!

Suzanne Somers takes us to these doctors and shows us alternative ways to stay healthy whilst getting old. She deserves alll the credit for writting a book that is a must read for all those that donot want to continue on a sure path to a nursery home and the risk to live the end of ones years in a vegetative state.

4 Stars Information that women need to know!
It would nice to have all the time and money Ms. Somers has–to wrap your life around looking and feeling younger. But the reality is: most of us don’t. However, Ms. Somers’ book does give some good advice. It’s worth reading–even though most women won’t have the resources to implement all the suggestions given.

4 Stars I bought this book because…
I saw an interview somewhere with Ms. Sommers on her TV book tour. As the interview rushed to a close, she was trying to get in something about a rememdy for acid reflux. I HAD horrible acid reflux and should have seen a doctor long ago, but had been trying to manage with OTC drugs.

I waited for a few weeks for the Kindle version to become available and finally downloaded it and was able to search for what she had mentioned. I tried what the doctor recommended and in a little over a week, no acid reflux. I am absolutely astounded. I guess I’ll have to read the rest of the book now, but I look forward to it.
