.,,ssociate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida
imply wanted to find his chronically overweight heart patients an easy-to-use alternative to the
standard low-fat American Heart Association diet. The result, however, was the South Beach Diet
Instead of limiting carbs, it focuses on choosing "good" carbs, such as whole grains and certain
fruits and vegetables, "good" fats, such as olive and canola oil, and lean sources of protein. When
r. Agatston's patients found overwhelming success through his plan, he wrote his first book, in
11:003. Seven books and a dieting revolution later, his newest offering is The South Beach Diet Taste
'Summer Cookbook ($28.95; Rodale). With 150 fast and flavorful recipes, from breakfast pizzas
spicy sweet-potato fries, the Taste of Summer Cookbook brings the bounty of summertime to the
able. Here, four fabulous recipes from the Taste of Summer Cookbook.
