RE: Eating Right & Living Better

The South Beach Diet Is Hot; Here's Why

WebMD:

It started out simply enough. Arthur Agatston, MD, a cardiologist, decided to develop an eating plan that would improve the cholesterol and insulin levels of his patients with heart disease. Now, the South Beach diet has grown into something much bigger. That's because the plan Agatston created not only improves cholesterol and insulin levels, but it also has helped many people lose weight.

...

Agatston's book about his plan, The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss, has become a best seller and it appears to be poised to overtake the controversial Atkins diet in popularity.

I've not yet read the book, but it seems to be a common sense, low-carb approach to better health, falling somewhere between the Atkins approach and the Zone diet.

Let me know what you think.

Eat right. Live better.
