the holidays, but it doesn't have to be. The South Beach Diet
Quick and Easy Cookbook by Arthur Agatston, MD (Rodale
Hardcover/2005/$27.95) makes it simple to eat well all the time.
"This South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook is meant to
be one small step in our strategy to make healthy eating easier
for the modern `fast family,' says Dr. Agatston. "If you keep
your kitchen stocked and these recipes on hand, you'll be well on
your way to good health."
If you are trying to eat well and keep your weight in check,
don't skip meals, says Dr. Agatston. That's because hunger sets
you up to overeat, which can be perilous during the holidays. You
shouldn't be "starving" when you arrive at a party; always have a
healthy snack before. If you're cooking at home, try delicious
Pork Fajitas, recipe below.
