Format:Hardcover
I've used this book for the past few months now, and i can't recommend it enough for anyone out there who, like me, hates dietary 'fads'; a new one seems to appear every other week, and most of them are either unworkable over the long term or unpalatable at any time.
If you want to lose weight fast, then you can choose to stick to Agatston's 3 phase method, of eliminating certain foods for short time periods then gradually reintroducing them, but not having the patience or interest, I tend to use his recipes to simply eat healthily on a day to day basis.
It's an American book with US terms and measurements, but this isn't a problem; if I can't get any ingredients, or don't like what he's suggested, it's very easy to substitute like for like. The recipes are organised in chapters, by main ingredient - fish/side dishes/veg dishes/salads/meat/desserts etc. Being a dairy lover, I like the fact that cheese and cream aren't eliminated; healthier options are substituted, such as sour cream, ricotta and mozzarella. Pasta is still in there, but whole wheat is recommended. Sweet potato and tortilla wraps are generally used instead of white potatoes and bread.
This is currently one of 2 hardback South Beach recipe books that are available; there's also a smaller paperback outlining the theories and methods behind the diet which i'm sure is useful if you can be bothered to read it. Personally, i'm not too interested in the theory but the recipes in both books are great, and I dip in and out of both all the time. They also work well as stand-alone cookbooks if you're not interested in dieting/health issues and just want some simple, tasty meals to impress your friends and family with.

Format:Hardcover
The South Beach Diet does work. The principles are well written and the recommended menu programme is easily followed. As with all diets, the programme needs to be followed closely, showing a high degree of commitment from the user. However, on this diet, you will not go hungry and will eat quality food that will achieve positive results. The Quick and Easy Cookbook is designed to be used when the reader reaches the final or maintenance stage of the weight loss programme. It contains lots of additional recipes to sustain a healthy lifestyle yet provide variety and balance. This book is best purchased along with the original handbook, the South Beach Diet.

The South Beach Diet is great if you're not a carb fan. Otherwise, not so much. I've done it several times but unless you eat at home all the time, it's incredibly difficult to stay on it when eating out. It's easier to make strange requests in London than in smaller towns but when eating with friends, it's extremely embarrassing to have to ask for everything 'non-South Beach' to be taken off your plate. It also leaves with you with a very sad-looking meal and serious food envy!
This book however has some great recipes for the home and are easy to prepare. The breakfast section is wonderful and the fish recipes are delicious. I'm not a pudding fan so can't say I've tried any of their pudding recipes.
Recipes are clear and concise -- Although UK folks: Note that the ingredients are spelled in an American way and that American measures are used. So just make sure you convert and double-check it before going out to buy your ingredients!
Overall a great book to have around the house. I use recipes from time to time when I want a healthy snack and use it probably once a month for a dinner party if I want a lighter recipe, i.e. when entertaining post-Xmas when people are on a detox!

SB in book form
I bought this book instead of continuing with SB online. Tried a recipe (chicken Jambalaya) that the whole family loved. The book is a bit on the big side, and hard backed. Read more
