Summary: God Send for South Beach Dieters
My husband and I are so thankful for this book. We did South Beach before, but stopped about a year ago because the recipes were just so darn time consuming and complex, and with an infant daughter and full-time jobs, we were tired of a diet that required so much work in the kitchen. When we saw this book had come out, along with the dining out guide, we decided to give it another go, and in less than 2 months we are both nearly down to our goal weights. The recipes in this book feel even less like a diet than the original cookbook. They are so yummy. We like the shrimp stir-fry, turkey parmesan and catfish. And the chips with black bean dip is far better than any bean dip I've ever bought pre-packaged from the store. The recipes are all super easy, especially if you do prep work the evening before. Usually it takes us no more than 20 minutes to get a delicious dinner on the table. And the beginning of the book lists tons of snack and quick meal ideas. I like topping a flat whole-wheat tortilla with pesto, shredded mozzarella and cooked chicken strips, and then baking like a pizza.
As with the original cookbook, you really don't get into the more delicious recipes until phase 2. And there is a bevy of standard ingredients and spices you should stock up on before starting this diet, which will result in a pretty large grocery bill at the get-go. But soon the South Beach diet becomes a way of life. It doesn't feel like you are dieting. It just feels like you are eating healthy, fresh meals. Best wishes to all the dieters out there.
Summary: I love this book!
I just bought this book a few weeks ago to add to my collection and I can say that it is wonderful. It has so many tasty ideas and they use easy quick ingredients. It truly is quick and easy. I would recommend this book over the other South Beach cookbook. Be sure and check out the introduction book to the South Beach way of life.
Summary: It was a real eye opener
The author's suggestion about reducing caffeine intake was helpful. My physician told me it caused me acid indigestion. He recommended a book called "The Truth About Caffeine: How Companies That Promote it Deceive us and What We Can Do About It. The book pays particular attention to the effects of coffee and caffeine on women and children. Some studies have shown that excessive coffee drinking can lead to fertility and pregnancy problems, birth defects, low birth weight babies or SIDS, as well as fibrocystic breast tumors. It was a real eye opener, I'll say. It's highly recommended.
