*** Well Formatted Edition with an Active Table of Contents and Carb Gram Counter Tables ***All recipes in this cookbook are alphabetically sorted and accessible via TOC.The South Beach Diet is truly a food lover’s diet. It’s about living well and loving what you eat. But it’s also practical, flexible, easy, and effective. The South Beach Diet plan is divided into three Phases. A three-phase plan that has been likened to the low-carbohydrate Atkins program because during the first two weeks, South Beach eliminates most carbs, including bread, pasta, potatoes, fruit and most dairy products. In Phase 2, healthy carbs, including most fruits, whole grains and dairy products are gradually reintroduced, but processed carbs such as bagels, cookies, cornflakes, regular pasta and rice cakes remain on the list of foods to avoid or eat rarely. Ditto for carrots, corn, bananas, raisins, pineapple, fruit juice and watermelon. This phase lasts until the weight goal is reached. In Phase 3, adherents are urged to stick mostly with the same foods as in Phase 2. The South Beach program is based largely on reducing or eliminating foods with a high glycemic index, a measure of the rise in blood sugar after eating a particular food. This book also includes 350 delicious recipes. With this cookbook, you can eat well and live healthy at the same time.Here are some sample recipes from this cookbook:Almond Ricotta CrèmeApple Walnut Chicken Salad ~ PHASE 2Artichoke and Tomato ChickenAsparagus with Lemon-Mustard Sauce ~ PHASE 1Avocado and Tomato SaladBacon and Cheddar Stuffed MushroomsBalsamic Glazed Vegetables ~ PHASE 1Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish and Roasted Garlic CrustBeef and Onion Stir-Fry ~ PHASE 1Blackberry Spinach Salad ~ PHASE 2Broiled Lamb Chops with Mint PestoBroiled Seafood Kabob ~ ALL PHASESBrown Rice with Cashews and Herbs ~ PHASE 2Cheesy Spaghetti Squash ~ PHASE 1Chicken Creole with Chili Cream SauceChicken Cutlets with Herbs de Provence and Apple CompoteChicken Feta ~ PHASE 2Chicken Sauté with Riesling ~ PHASE 1Chicken with Lemon-Caper SauceChinese Braised Chicken ~ PHASE 1Chipotle-Lime Dip with Scallions ~ PHASE 2Chocolate Flax Seed Muffins ~ PHASE 1Citrus-Marinated Salmon ~ PHASE 2Cottage Cheese Puffs ~ PHASE 2Cottage Cheese Salad with Feta and Nuts ~ PHASE 1Cottage Cheese Spinach ChickenCranberry Chicken Salad ~ PHASE 2Cream Cheese Dip ~ PHASE 2Cream and Ginger Pasta ~ PHASE 2Creamy Classic ColeslawCucumbers in Butter and Cream ~ PHASE 2Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed BreastsFeta-Mint Dip with Yogurt ~ PHASE 2Filet Mignon With Mushroom-Wine SauceFillet of Sole with Spinach and TomatoesFresh Fruit Dip ~ PHASE 2Fresh Shrimp with Avocado Dressing ~ PHASE 2Garbanzo Crockpot Dinner ~ PHASE 1Garlic Broccoli ~ PHASE 2Gingered Chicken BreastGreen Beans with WalnutsGreen Goddess Dip ~ PHASE 2Grilled Chicken Salad ~ PHASE 1Grilled Chicken with Maple-Pecan Glaze ~ PHASE 2Grilled Fresh Tuna w/ Marinade ~ PHASE 1Grilled Lamb with Mint and OreganoGrilled Shrimp Skewers ~ PHASE 1Grilled Steak with Grilled Tomato RelishGrilled Summer Vegetables with Basil MarinadeGrilled Swordfish Steaks with Lemon and ThymeHalibut with Herbs and CapersHam and Pistachio Pasta ~ PHASE 2Herb-Marinated Beef with Summer Vegetables ~ PHASE 1Herb-Stuffed Turkey Breast ~ PHASE 1Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet ~ PHASE 2Hot Spinach and Artichoke SaladItalian Chicken in FoilKasha Varnishes ~ PHASE 2Lemon Couscous ChickenLemon Parsley Sauce ~ PHASE 1Lemon Peel Ricotta Cream ~PHASE 2Lemon Zest Ricotta CrèmeLemonade Cheesecake ~ PHASE 2Low-Fat Cottage Cheese OmeletMarinated Blue Cheese SteakMarinated Flank SteakMarinated Yogurt CheeseMediterranean Stuffed Chicken ~ PHASE 2Mediterranean Vegetable Spread ~ PHASE 2Mixed Greens with Crabmeat SaladMocha Ricotta Crème ~ PHASE 1Mushroom-Cheese ChickenMushroom-Swiss ChickenOriental Cabbage Salad ~ ALL PHASESOriental Pineapple ChickenOven-Roasted VegetablesPan-Grilled Salmon Fillets with Tomato and TarragonPan-Roasted Steak and OnionsParmesan and Basil Chicken SaladPeppercorn Pork ~ PHASE 2Pepperoni Chicken RollupsPoached Salmon Spinach SaladPoached Salmon with Dill Sauce ~ ALL PHASESRaspberry Chicken Breast with Fresh HerbsRed Beans and Rice with Salsa ~ PHASE 2Roast Shrimp with Orange and Rosemary ~ PHASE 2Roasted Green Beans with Dill VinaigretteRosemary Chicken with White BeansSalmon-Stuffed Mushrooms ~ PHASE 1Sautéed Mussels with Basil and White Wine ~ PHASE 1And Many More Recipes…
