The second goal is weight loss, because when that occurs it's a sign that blood chemistry is also coming under control. It is broken into three phases. The recipes are very good and the snacks keep me from feeling too hungry. I recommend this diet book to anyone with high cholesterol or is hypoglycemic. The book recommends exercise but it is not necessary. It also provides menus for the diet. I have encouraged my family to try this diet.
My cardiologist told me I inherited this from my parents. I am still in the first two week stage which cuts off all carbs. Phase three will introduce me to even more carbs and will be the diet I will remain on. I am learning so much from South Beach Diet that I believe will help lower my cholesterol. In phase two I will gradually reintroduce certain healthy carbs.
The purpose of this book is to improve a persons' heart health by changing their blood chemistry. The first two weeks I will leave off carbs. This book provides a daily meal plan- breakfast, midmorning snack, lunch, midafternoon snack, dinner, dessert. My cholesterol is over 200 even when I am on medication. Such as, bread with oil or even a little butter is better for my diet than bread alone because the oil will slow down the absorption of starches and contribute to my feeling of fullness.
the first 2 weeks suck but just keep going and you will hit goal
Very good service - the book came to me very quickly - so now I can start the New Year out right - I will definitely use them again - Thank you Thrift store -
It doesn't get better than that.The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss The book is educational and the menues and recipes are extremely helpful, so I'm glad I made the purchase. In addition, Amazon delivered new quality for a used price.
Like I said in my title "be wise before you buy". Got a great deal on the book and quick shipping but was a little offset when reading due to the complicated and somewhat expensive meals. Some meals just aren't for me due to the ingredients.
