This year more than 1 million Americans will have a heart attack or stroke, making heart disease the leading cause of death in men and women in this country. But thanks to his aggressive prevention approach to treating heart disease, renowned cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston, creator of the Agatston Score for measuring coronary calcium, rarely sees a heart attack or stroke in his practice. Now in his most passionate book yet, Dr. Agatston champions a revolution in cardiac care that will empower people to save their own lives. Just as millions of people have successfully adopted Dr. Agatston’s South Beach Diet, now millions can lead longer and healthier lives thanks to his South Beach Heart Pogram. Living without heart disease is clearly within our reach. Book DescriptionA pioneering cardiologist and the author of the international bestseller The South Beach Diet presents the truth about cardiac care in this country and offers his proven program for preventing heart attacks and strokes. This year alone more than 1 million men and women in this country will suffer a heart attack or stroke. The shocking fact is that the majority of heart attacks and strokes can be prevented with the medical knowledge we already possess. Yet this isn’t happening. Why? Because doctors and hospitals are paid more to treat disease with invasive techniques like angioplasty and bypass surgery than to prevent it. In his most personal and passionate work yet, Dr. Arthur Agatston champions a revolution in heart disease prevention that will enable people to stay out of the hospital and off the operating table. In Part 1 of this compelling book, he tells you why seemingly healthy people can suddenly have a heart attack and why people with great cholesterol numbers can be walking time bombs.

For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.

The South Beach Diet

Manufacturer: Rodale Books

La dieta que todos están comentandoDurante años, el cardiólogo Arthur Agatston urgía a sus pacientes a perder peso por el bien de sus corazones, pero las dietas resultaron demasiado difíciles de seguir o muy severas. Algunas eran hasta peligrosas. Aparentemente nadie podía seguir los regímenes bajos en grasa durante mucho tiempo. Y una dieta no sirve para nada si uno no la puede seguir.Por lo tanto, el Agatston inventó su propia dieta. La dieta South Beach no es complicada y tampoco requiere que se pase hambre. Disfrutará porciones normales de carne, aves y pescado. También disfrutará huevos, queso, frutos secos y verduras. Las meriendas (refrigerios, tentempiés) también son de rigor en esta dieta. Aprenderá a evitar los carbohidratos malos como la harina blanca, el azúcar blanca y las papas al horno. Lo mejor de todo es que a medida que adelgace, ¡perderá esa terca grasa abdominal primero!La dieta del Dr. Agatston ha producido resultados que han sido constantemente impactantes (¡un pérdida de entre 8 y 13 libras durante las primeras 2 semanas!) y ha creado un furor en los medios de comunicación del sur de la Florida. Ahora usted también puede unirse a las filas de los que ahora ostentan figuras fabulosas gracias a la dieta South Beach.

South Beach Diet was written by Arthur Agatston, M.D., who is a cardiologist who has served on committees of the American Society of Echocardiology, the American College of Cardiology, and the Society of Artherosclerosis Imaging. The first half of the south beach diet book details the science behind the South Beach Diet. Most of the explanations revolve around why things you thought were healthy--orange juice, wheat toast, carrots--are actually evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston created a modified carbohydrate plan, recommending plenty of high-fiber foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting bread, rice, pastas, and fruits. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a serious indifference to exercise. Feeling full while on a diet is a beautiful thing, but it seems odd that a cardiologist buries his exercise recommendations in a solitary sentence. The last half of the south beach diet book covers his three-stage plan.
