MIAMI BEACH -  The South Beach Diet is known for producing svelte
bikini-clad bodies on its namesake sands, but now the diet's promise to
melt away belly fat is drawing an unlikely group into the low- carb
craze: vegetarians.

For years, low-carb and vegetarian diets have been on opposite ends of
the eating spectrum - when an Atkins dieter orders a bunless burger, a
vegetarian orders a burgerless bun.

But Arthur Agatston, a Miami Beach cardiologist who created the South
Beach Diet, said he developed a vegetarian version of his plan long
before it became a best-selling book and diet to the stars.

Now about 4,000 vegetarians use his diet's Web site, which offers
meatless meal plans and recipes. Vegetarian Times magazine featured the
diet in its January edition. And vegetarians inundate Agatston with calls
when he appears on radio and talk shows.
