REMEMBER THE SOUTH<br />

BEACH DIET? It’s back with<br />

a keto twist. Here’s how<br />

it can help you beat sugar<br />

addiction, burn fat, and<br />

achieve lifelong health.<br />

BY VERA TWEED<br />

Sugar addiction is the same as alcohol,<br />

cigarettes … any addiction,” says Arthur<br />

Agatston, MD, author of the South Beach<br />

Diet and his latest, The New Keto-Friendly<br />

South Beach Diet. But you can beat it,<br />

he adds—for good.<br />

As someone who has struggled with his own sugar<br />

addiction, Agatston knows the pitfalls of diets only too<br />

well. “When I put weight on my belly after I cheated, my<br />

wife would say, ‘Arthur, you can only do radio,’” he recalls.<br />

But rather than giving up, he found the lasting cure.<br />

“I feel so much better. I really call it the fountain of<br />

youth,” he says after staying slim and full of energy for<br />

the past year and a half. And the same holds true for<br />

his patients who’ve adopted these new eating habits.<br />
