Aerobic exercise not only helps you lose weight (and keep it off for the long haul), but it also makes your heart stronger. Dr. Arthur Agatston, author of the bestselling South Beach Diet Supercharged and South Beach Heart Health Revolution, recommends a minimum of 20 minutes of interval walking (during which you alternate periods of fast walking with periods of slower recovery walking) every other day.
There is an important medical condition so obvious that I can diagnose it without performing a single diagnostic test. I can spot it the instant a patient walks into my office. It's so common that I see it everywhere — at malls, in restaurants, on the golf course, and strolling down the street. It has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. I'm sure you've seen it, too, among your family and friends, and maybe when you look in the mirror.

Sweet potatoes have recently become the rising star in the world of superfoods. From baked to mashed, you can enjoy this starchy vegetable starting on Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet. It's rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C, both powerful antioxidants that work to prevent and possibly reverse the cell damage caused by free radicals. Sweet potatoes are at their peak abundance from September through December, but you can find them at your local supermarket year-round.
