Cardiologist Dr. Agatson’s South Beach Diet book is a New York Times Best Seller, both because of its nutritional advice and the popularity of the low carb diets which were made popular by earlier work by another cardiologist, Dr. Atkins. Dr. Agatson’s advice is similar to that of the “traditional low carb” diet but at the same time, it is a little different. At the outset, the book distinctly states that “South Beach Diet is not low carb, nor is it low fat.” The difference is that SBD spends a lot of time discussing about the right kinds of carbs – and the right kinds of fats. In this article, we review the book itself, as well as refer you to some additional background research for consideration of the South Beach Diet.
