Out of all of the diets, by far the one that has received more than a fair share of adherents is the South Beach Diet. While there are plenty of those that may criticize this diet plan, for many others it does work and quite well. However, many feel that the diet is not strong enough and want to see quicker results. In this vein, the South Beach Diet Supercharged by Dr. Agatston should address these concerns and show how to turn this diet into a powerhouse.
It is best to state first off that this diet is a new version of the South Beach Diet and some changes have been made. It's interesting that the author chose to keep that name even though many things are fundamentally different. It's highly probable that the name itself is more profitable and it certainly is easier to promote a diet based on this very popular diet plan that millions of people have tried. The author does break down the diet into three phases, much like the original South Beach Diet and it does draw heavily from this plan. However, it does branch out and provide new ways to adapt a healthy lifestyle.
The best parts of this book are the ones that focus truly on building a healthy new lifestyle and not just losing weight. The author did a very good job of stressing how important it is to make those changes, particularly if you are looking for success over the long term. Too many diet books focus on fads and fail to provide readers with solid information that they can keep with them for the rest of their lives. In this vein, the book is well worth the cover price.
The problem I have with this book is mainly with the types of food that were recommended. It's heavy on advice for using sugar substitutes without regards to what these are made of, many of these contain unhealthy chemicals and since this book is about not only losing weight but getting healthy, this is a bit at cross purpose. However, since the jury is still out on the safety of alternative sweeteners, it is difficult to judge this point too harshly. Personally, I recommend Agave Nectar has a sugar substitute.
The bottom line - this is a good book, but like many in the industry, you can't read just this one and expect to get the whole picture. For those who are already on the South Beach Diet, it's a great resource, but it is certainly not a stand alone book.
