'South Beach' Doctor to Talk
Posted on: Wednesday, 10 November 2004, 09:00 CST
Dr. Arthur Agatson, cardiologist and author of "The South Beach Diet," speaks about his eating plan Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Hilton Memphis, 939 Ridgelake Blvd.
He will address nutrition issues, weight loss and the importance of living a balanced life.
The event is sponsored by the Baptist Centers for Cancer Care.
Recent studies have shown that excess weight increases the risk of at least nine types of cancer.
Agatston's book promotes eating good fats and good carbohydrates in a three-step plan that limits carbohydrates in the first stage but gradually reintroduces them.
Tickets are $10 per person, and reservations are required. Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and Agatson will sign books after the program.
Call 227-8478 for more information or to purchase tickets.
