Default vegetarian South Beach?

I've heard that it is possible to do the south beach diet as a
vegetarian, and that there are details on the Web site. However, I
can't seem to find out for sure exactly what they have (for example,
specific meal plans?) without paying for it. But I don't really want
to pay unless I know what I'm getting into.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks!

Beans are a starchy vegetable, and there are a number of high
fiber/lowish net carb items on their starch list that could be moved to
a "eat in moderation" grain list. My suggestion is to ignore the beans
and choose some other protien food, during induction at least.

revek who does not do South Beach, nor vegetarian (I hear the sound of
my two cents being downgraded... does that mean I owe you money now?)
