Self-Help Diet
From Dr. Arthur Agatston, creator of the South Beach Diet
comes an urgent message: We need to wake up to the reality
of just how fat and sick we are as a nation. Statistics don’t lie: In the past 30 years Americans have
become heavier and unhealthier than at any time in our
history. Yet while most of us recognize the devastating toll
this is taking on our lives—compromising our productivity,
our self-esteem, our energy, and ultimately our very
longevity—we seem stuck in the sedentary, fast-food
lifestyle that got us here in the first place. But there is hope. In The South Beach Wake-Up Call, Dr.
Agatston sheds light on the root causes of our current
health crisis and also offers clear, actionable advice for
addressing and reversing this growing problem. He explains
how inflammation brought on by our toxic lifestyle is
destroying the body’s ability to heal and repair itself, and
causing our tissues and organs to "rust," or grow old before
their time. He shows why losing that belly fat is far more
than just a matter of regaining your "bikini body," and how
lack of sleep and inadequate exercise can rob you of years
of vigorous good health. He also takes a close look at the
American diet and what should (and shouldn’t) be on the menu
and exposes the real cost of eating out and consuming
"cheap" fast food. With a section of brand-new recipes created to maximize your
intake of "Megafoods"— those foods packed with anti-aging
antioxidants and dense with nutrients, not calories—plus
meal plans and an easy-to-follow fitness routine for
increasing both core strength and cardiovascular health, The
South Beach Wake-Up Call is an essential prescription for
anyone ready for a life-enhancing approach to diet and good
health. The book features: The South Beach Wake-Up Program: 7 simple, sustainable
strategies for age-reversing, life-saving weight loss and
optimal health The South Beach Gluten Solution to combat the potential
harm that gluten-containing foods can have on sensitive
individuals, including gastrointestinal problems, skin
