Because of the presentation of this book on the Amazon site, and the "fat" and "carb" reference on the cover, people will assume this book is associated with The South Beach Diet. It clearly is not. With references to "phases" and such in this book, I think that Nancy McCune is trying to rip off the public and lead people to believe this book is affiliated with Dr. Agatston and The South Beach Diet. It is not.

With ingredients listed such as full-fat cream, some of the recipes in this book will not be fitting for those following The South Beach Diet.

I recommend that people stick with THE South Beach Diet cookbooks by Dr. Arthur Agatston, and avoid this cheap imitation.

I agree with Maggie, this book has no association with the South Beach Diet. "South Beach" simply means the author lives in Miami, likes to cook and wrote a cookbook. I find this book frustrating also because it includes absolutely no nutritional information for any of the recipes. I understand that many cookbooks omit this information, my Fanny Farmer Cookbook from 1979 has none of this either, but those claiming to be "low fat" or "low carb" or both generally will tell you how much fat/carb and or both are being consumed. And how many mouths are we feeding...? some recipes do not even state the number of servings it makes. Some of the recipes do sound good, but without knowing if I should be eating the entire meatloaf myself or if I am sharing with 12 of my closest friends, I'm not going to bother to make it.
