Product Description
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 rashes, metabolic disorders, and a host of autoimmune conditions
- The Wake Up and Move 2-Week Quick Start Plan, an exercise program combining both cardio and core conditioning
- 15 MegaFoods for Healthy Eating, how to buy healthy food on a budget, how to snack strategically, and 32 all-new recipes from breakfasts to desserts using MegaFoods
- Stories from real-life "Super Moms" who are fighting back and taking control of their families’ health, plus tips for parents throughout

If you are familiar with the famous The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss, then you have probably heard of the author, Dr. Arthur Agatston. If not, The south Beach Diet is a 3 phase semi-restrictive program designed for healthy weight loss.His follow-up book, The South Beach Wake-Up Call is meant to be just that - a way to raise the awareness of everyone about the impact of highly processed, sugar-laden foods with a sedentary lifestyle. While this will not really come as a surprise to anyone, when someone holds the consequences up in your face, it becomes much harder to ignore. That is the purpose of this book - to actually show us what we are doing to our health and what to do about it. This book is easy to read due to the excellent formatting...

I really liked this book in that it went beyond the notion of "diet" as a plan to lose/maintain weight and covered much more the general topic of healthy lifestyle -- i.e., what should we do to attain and maintain good health. It certainly is not a "how to lose a 5 pounds a week" type diet book.The books starts by framing our relatively poor current state of health and prospect of health outcomes getting even worse over time as we (and our children) do so many things to undermine our health, including eating too many empty calories, exercising too little, not getting enough sleep, etc. The book concisely talks about the "perils of progress" that have gotten us to our overfed, unhealthy lifestyles, with emphasis on switch to "bad" fats and carbohydrates. It discusses aspects of healthy lifestyle and then gives 7 strategies to improve health, most involving food (i.e., best foods to shop for), exercise, and sleep (often overlooked). Unlike some diet books, the...

It has been awhile since Dr. Agatston's last major book The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life , so this new book is a welcome volume from a familiar voice. It is much more of a lifestyle book than a diet book. It is divided into three parts: The Health of Our Nation, The South Beach Wake-Up Program, and Megafoods and Megarecipes. The first part of the book is an indictment of the typical American lifestyle of too much screen time coupled with too much unhealthy food. Unlike a lot of other books and their authors that simply sound the alarm and leave the reader with a palpitating heart and a sense of despair, Dr. Agatston provides concrete steps for making changes in a person's and her family's diet and lifestyle. There is advice about one's home and eating style (e.g. set the table, ban... Read more |
