Questions About the Food Lists From South Beach Diet

Avocado,
onions, radishes, tomatoes, black olives, almonds and sour cream and
blue cheese

you can have all of these foods although some have limits (tomato is one per
meal, almonds - 15 per day). If you go to www.prevention.com and the south
beach message board you can find a thread for newbies. it will give you a full
food list with a lot more food than the book lists, all approved by the dr.

also, look for the link to the ezboard recipe exchange. has a ton of great
recipes.

There is an updated food list that is available if you are a paid
subscriber on the site. I believe it incorporates the ingredients
in the recipes. (That book has some real inconsistencies! They
should have had me working for them!) South Beach's goal is not
to be low-carb, although Phase One, which seems to function like
the first stage of Atkins to wean you from your cravings etc.,
does eliminate most carbs. Agatston distinguishes between what he
calls good and bad carbs, which becomes apparent after Phase One.

Thanks Jean. I now have the updated lists. It's unfortunate that you
have to pay to get this information. The site has some helpful recipes
that make it worthwile though.
