South Beach Diet Questions

[Booknut]

Hi

I have a few questions about the south beach diet. Can you have the following items in either phase I or phase II?

1. Sausages
2. Cheese (that isn't low-fat)
3. Latte's and Cappuccino's (skinny ones!)
4. Diet Soda

Also, what would you suggest would be a good lunch for someone who absolutely loves sandwiches (DH is panicking over not having bread for 2 weeks!)

Thanks

From my understanding, yes you can have sausage and cheese during phase 1.

I'd skip onthe coke and don'thave a clue about the lattes, etc.

I just started SB this week and love it! As for your questions here is how I understand it....
1. Sausages (Don't know)
2. Cheese (only low fat)
3. Latte's (no dairy in phase one, phase two I think it's OK in limited amounts)
4. Diet Soda (fine in all phases, but you should limit your caffeine two 2 a day).

Try making a sandwich and wrapping it in lettuce. It was much better than I expected!

for all of the things you mentioned, check the label for carbohydrate content - that will give your answer. you can find sausage that has a lot of carbohydrate added, and some that is not, so a blanket yes or no answer will not help.

i have an idea for sandwiches. get your favorite lunchmeats, a little condiments, and roll them up with slices of cheese on the outside. get 2 toothpicks to hold it together. if you just have to have the bread, get 'slender-sliced' bread and only use one piece - again roll it up!

hope that helps!
