My best suggestion would be to go check the book out from the library if you don't want to buy it.

Or, go to your favorite search engine (Yahoo, Google, etc.), and do a search for "South Beach Diet".

Go to www.prevention.com click on weight loss tab. There will be some SBD info. including the foods to eat/aviod during the 3 phases of the diet. It's not as detailed as the book but might get you started.

I just switched from Atkins to SBD - that Prevention.com site is terrific! Go to the "message boards" and you'll see a board just for SBD. I think going from Atkins to SBD will be fine for me - they are quite similar. Atkins allows more fat - SBD encourages "good carbs". You will also want to keep an eye on the glycemic index of foods. Again, you can find a source on-line. I was disappointed to see the SBD book only in hard-back now. (I guess it's selling so well, they don't want to go paperback yet.) There is an official South Beach Diet website - but it costs! You don't need it - so much info is on the Prevention.com site. Good luck! I was successful on Atkins, but my son wanted to switch from WW to SBD, so I said I do this with him.

I want to get this book for my sister for Christmas but I was hoping it would be out in paperback first.

Hi,

I started SBD in August based on the information I found on the prevention website. I started losing weight just like he said I would. After about a week I decided to buy the book.

I purchased it from Sam's Club. The cover price is 24.95 in the US however, I got it for $15.16 + tax. I live in the Metro Atlanta area.


I am pleased with the diet because of the food choices.


Good Luck!
