South Beach Christmas Giveaway Winner #4 & #5

We're in Day 4 our our South Beach Christmas Giveaway contest where we are giving away a total of TEN copies of the new book by Dr. Arthur Agatston entitled The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook.

Let's go ahead and announce the winners for both Saturday and Sunday:

Jennifer W. from Virginia and Hannah B. from Connecticut!

Jennifer, a first-time low-carber, writes:

"I'm new to this low-carb thing, but I am so encouraged by Jimmy's story that I know I will be successful."

THANK YOU, Jennifer! And you WILL be successful as long as you never lose sight of the prize that awaits you by livin' la vida low-carb.

Hannah is a big fan of The South Beach diet and writes:

"Hi! I support the low-carb lifestyle because I have found the South Beach diet to be the only one that ever worked for me and let me keep the weight off! I had to lose weight as quickly as possible for health reasons and I was able to lose a lot of weight fast to start, then maintain it by sensible eating. My husband went on it with me and he had the same results. We plan on going back on the induction phase after the holidays and I would like to find more recipes than the few that are in the diet book itself. Even my internist said he is in favor of it above all the other diet plans available. It just makes sense!"

And CONGRATULATIONS to you, Hannah! I am so glad you and your husband were able to find the South Beach diet and use it to quickly and permanently lose weight. I am sure you will find many delectable dishes to enjoy in The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook to enjoy!

In fact, let me share yet another recipe from The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook with YOU:



Vietnamese Pork Rolls

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes (includes assembling rolls)

These rolls are special, yet not hard to make. A simply dressed green salad with cucumber or radish would be a perfect accompaniment. Cut them on the diagonal or cut the lettuce leaves into thirds and roll up smaller, hors d'oeuvre-size pieces.

Dressing:
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (page 19)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes

Pork:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound pork cutlets
1 (½-pound) head napa cabbage, shredded (3 cups)
1 small red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
8 large Boston lettuce leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the dressing: Whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

For the pork: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and sauté until lightly browned, 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice into thin strips. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.

Combine cabbage, bell pepper, and remaining dressing in a large bowl. Lay lettuce leaves on a clean, dry work surface. Divide pork among leaves. Top with cabbage mixture and roll tightly, tucking edges in as you go. Place rolls, seam side down, on a cutting board, cut in half, and serve.
