A key factor in the The South Beach Diet Cookbook success is the great-tasting, well-balanced meals Dr. Arthur Agatston promotes, 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, the book also includes success stories, troubleshooting tips, and frequently asked questions, plus the recipes, from Whole Grain Pancakes with Berry Cream Syrup to Filet Mignon with Tomatoes and Rosemary to Chocolate-Hazelnut Flourless Cake. Also included are new recipes contributed by prominent South Beach chefs and by readers themselves.
