Tasty, healthy and quick! My kind of cookbook.

Good addition for any south beach dieters. Additional recipes are good to have beyond the basic text.

My son developed metabolic syndrome when he was in high school, so my husband (or was it I?) bought both The South Beach Diet, the original introductory book, and this companion cookbook (although I vaguely remember the original having some recipes, too).

I lost six pounds almost right away, and my husband and son lost weight, too. Now why did I abandon this diet when I lost weight quickly and was never hungry? Oh, right: desserts and author Dr. Arthur Agatson’s unreasonable opposition to pineapple and pumpkin. OK, well, mostly desserts.

But now I really want to lose weight, and I’m willing to sacrifice desserts and pumpkin (although not pineapple). And Agatson includes some really luscious recipes. He claims that you won’t feel as if you’re on a diet, and he’s right. You won’t be hungry and the recipes don’t rely on weird ingredients like chia seeds, watery cabbage soups or any other stumbling blocks to weight loss. And, as a working mom, I can’t spend two hours getting food on the dinner table. This time I hope that I get it right.
