south beach diet questions

is peanut butter - natural - just peanuts and salt - ok for phase 1?

are beans? like the beans you'd have in chili?

i found this on the web:
http://healing.about.com/cs/nutrition/a/aa_lowcarbdiet_p.htm

And while this person may not be following the diet to the 't' - I was surprised that she had beans on her first week. I didn't see that in the book but I'll check again when I get home.

I made the veggie quiche cups - yuck. I was not impressed but it might have been me, I didn't think they were cooked enough and I might have overcooked them.
What do people have for b-fast if they are sick of eggs, esp. phase 1?

Thanks!

Re: south beach diet questions

breakfast is tough...you just have to get through it...


you can do cold cut rolls...ricotta or cottage cheese


I ate PB...maybe I wasn't supposed to b/c I htink some have sugar...

I don't like beans...but I think they are ok...

Re: south beach diet questions

I hear you on the eggs for bfast - I'm already tired of them! I checked the book for more ideas, but I'm not a fan of salmon and don't have the time to prepare the other ideas he has. I normally have yogurt which isn't SO bad, so I'll deal with the eggs until I'm out of phase one.

Re: south beach diet questions

I bought natural peanut butter...just peanuts and salt. I think it's ok if I don't go crazy.

Thanks!
