Wow! Wow! Wow! I have a lot of weight to lose and I did not and would not do the "count the clorie and journaling" diets. South Beach diet does not have you do that! It was easy to lose weight....I am dead serious. I just stuck to their approved foods list and literaly ate as much as I wanted from it...and stayed away from their foods to avoid list. I also religously followed the EASY exercise program they have in the book. I have just finished phase one. It lasts 2 weeks and I lost 11 pounds. I recommend this to anyone who is trying to lose weight and who is excited about seeing quick results. Also for those who do not like to count calories and keep a food journal. I am SO GLAD I found this book!
FASTER WEIGHT LOSS with THE SOUTH BEACH DIET SUPER CHARGED! July 17, 2008

Dr. Agatston's new book "The South Beach Diet Super Charged" is an excellent way to lose weight and get in shape. Like his first book, "The South Beach Diet" this book explains how to eat for a healthy lifestyle, choosing high fiber, nutritious carbohydrates, good unsaturated fats, lean protein and low fat dairy.
This book takes the South Beach Diet to the next level by explaining a very simple yet body transforming exercise plan. Agatston explains how just 20 minutes of exercise a day done correctly can give the beneficial results of revving up your metabolism, overcoming weight loss plateaus and burning fat and calories.
The book includes a healthy eating plan and a daily exercise regime that is very doable! I am sure Dr. Agatston is a busy man and had help writing this book. I have to applaud the ghostwriter(s) for their very clear, concise way of explaining things. Many diet and exercise books are confusing; what to eat, when and where. This book lays everything out. There is a fitness plan that tells you exactly what to do in Phase 1, 2 and 3. Clear photographs support the plan. The eating program is laid out so it is simple to understand with easy to follow lists of exactly what you can and cannot eat during each Phase. Two full weeks of meal plans are included in the book along with recipes such as "Chicken and Lentil Stew", "Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies" and "Stir Fried Chicken with Soba Noodles". No pics for the recipes but nutritional information is included.
The 337 page hardcover book also includes tips and tricks on success for the plan. And a section on how to maintain your weight loss and an index for easy search.
Overall an excellent, healthy plan. I also recommend and love the DVD that supplements the book, "The South Beach Diet Super Charged Workout".

We thought the old diet plan was good; this one is better, with the emphasis on lifestyle change, and the food plan is easier to follow too. I FEEL better, even though I am not trying to lose weight, and my husband is finding it easier to stick with.

Two years ago I jumped on the South Beach Band Wagon and pretty painlessly lost 35 pounds. I felt better and looked younger than I had in years. Then, slowly and insiduously, I fell off the wagon. I avoided the scale and tried to ignore the fact that my new wardrobe was becoming a bit, well, snug. Finally I broke down and stood on the scale. It was a "Come to Jesus" moment. I was shocked to realize that I'd regained 15 pounds.
As luck would have it, the new and updated South Beach Diet Supercharged book had just been released, so I purchased a copy to refresh my memory on the philosophy and mechanics of the diet.
Good carbs, good fats. It's simple, really. Dr. Agatston explains his recommendations and provides solid data to back up his theories. I was pleased to see that the updated version also included some fascinating information on what type of exercise is most beneficial, and why. Sprinkled throughout the volume are personal success stories for some extra encouragement. I must say that the book left me feeling motivated and ready to get back on track with an eating and exercise plan that truly make sense to me.
This book is highly recommended if you're serious about making positive changes--and not just for the sake of your appearance. The South Beach Diet Supercharged gives basic ground rules for embracing a much healthier life style.
