User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Handy little guide for those familiar with SBD
For those already familiar with the diet, this guide is a valuable reference to add to the collection. With it’s small size, it is very convenient to put in a purse to carry along. I have used mine when traveling, and it’s been a nice refresher for the kinds of foods to enjoy and avoid when faced with temptation.

The South Beach Diet Good Fats/Good Carbs Guide (Revised): The Complete and Easy Reference for All Your Favorite Foods
This is one of the best books I have ever bought. It is easy to use. There is so much information in it. I just love it. It is a five star product. I have gotten 4 of them to give to others. It is G-R-E-A-T. It is an easy read, no crazy words or hard to follow chapters. It is simple and straight to the point. You can eat everything but junk food.
Features it contains:
1. Food lists that are easily read with detailed info. such as portions, fats, carbs, etc so you can plan meals accordingly.
2. Explanations in a few short pages that are clear.
3. Restaurant guidelines so you can eat out.
4. An index to help you find everything in the book
5. Designed small so you can carry it with you-best feature of all!!! No more guessing.
3 Stars good “cheat sheet” on carbs
This info can be found in the South Beach book and cookbooks but it is a quick and fairly complete guide of what carbs are best to eat with an easy to read guide of total carbs, sugar, fat, fiber and which phase certain foods can/should be eaten in. Also, it’s smaller so fits in the car or purse to carry with you when out or grocery shopping so you can quickly check a certain food or catagory. Not necessary but a good resource if you don’t have the cookbooks.
