Since its publication in April 2003, The South Beach Diet has become a nationwide phenomenon: a #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 600,000 in print in three months. A key factor in the diet's success is the great-tasting, well-balanced meals Dr. Agatston promotes. In fact, requests for more recipes began pouring in as soon as the book hit the shelves! The South Beach Diet Cookbook fills that need by offering more than 200 recipes that adhere to the diet's nutritional principles without compromising on taste.

Beginning with a brief overview of the science-based eating philosophy and why it produces such dramatic results--up to 13 pounds in the first two weeks--the book also includes success stories, troubleshooting tips, and frequently asked questions. The fabulous recipes, from Whole Grain Pancakes with Berry Cream Syrup to Filet Mignon with Tomatoes and Rosemary to Chocolate-Hazelnut Flourless Cake, ensure that this cookbook will appeal to any one who wants to eat more healthfully (and who doesn't?). And for every dish there is an indicator as to which phase of the diet corresponds, so followers can choose appropriate foods.

Also included are new recipes contributed by prominent South beach chefs and readers themselves. Illustrated throughout with color photography, The South Beach Diet Cookbook will satisfy the needs of thousands who are already on the plan and draw in thousands of new followers as well.
