The South Beach Diet Super Charged by Arthur Agatston
Faster weight loss, a unique metabolism-revving exercise program, new science, fresh meal plans and recipes, compelling success stories, and much more! Six years ago, renowned Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston set out to change the way people eat with "The South Beach Diet". The book soared to the top of bestseller lists across the nation and stayed there. Today, Dr. Agatston has an even more ambitious goal: to change the way we live by helping us to become fitter as well as thinner and healthier...for life! To make it easier and faster to lose weight and keep it off, Dr. Agatston features a cutting edge exercise program in "The South Beach Diet Supercharged". Created in collaboration with exercise physiologist Dr. Joseph Signorile, the 20-minute-a-day, three-phase workout perfectly complements the three phases of the diet itself. Based on the latest exercise science combining cardiovascular (interval) exercise and functional (core) fitness, the workout is designed to rev up the metabolism - and burn more fat and calories - even when you're not exercising.
Arthur Agatston, M.D., is an internationally recognized pioneer in cardiac disease prevention. Dr. Agatston worked with Dr. Warren Janowitz to develop the Agatston Score (also called the Calcium Score), a method of screening for coronary calcium as an indicator of atherosclerosis that is used at medical centers throughout the world and considered by most experts to be the best single predictor of a future heart attack.
Dr. Agatston and colleagues initiated the Healthy Options in Public Schools study, which demonstrated that by providing healthy school lunches, combined with an innovative education program in pre-K through grade 6, you can encourage healthy weights and improve blood pressures and standardized test scores in children. This project continues through the Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania.
