South Beach Diet

Hi Abby,
I have similar constraints. I can eat as much meat as I want, but doing so
caused my cholesterol to go up, so I’m sticking to lean meats, mainly chicken
breast.
I can’t eat beans or high fibre veggies. The only dairy I can tolerate well is
dry curd cottage cheese and full fat cheeses. So I eat the DCCC, bake with it,
blend it with some water and use it as ricotta. And I use a sprinkle of parmesan
here and there.
Fortunately I can have some salad each day, a peeled, deseeded tomato. The
veggies I can eat are peeled zucchini and mushrooms. I can tolerate one small
orange most days. For the rest, I take supplements, including digestive enzymes.
Have you ever heard of the specific carbohydrate diet for people with digestive
problems.

Hi,
My question is about amending this diet because of a disease:
How to lose weight without
eating too many veggies or too much fruit;
and dairy is OUT and so are beans.
Probably I haven’t posed my question very well.
But how about some suggestions, please.
Abby

I drink V8 or store brand.

Greetings all. I’m still relatively new to the South Beach WOE and I have a couple of questions. I was curious about the vegetable juice cocktail that’s mentioned in the book… is that V8, homemade or other?

Also, I was wondering abuot reading nutritional labels. Under Carbohydrates, there’s a breakdown of fiber and sugars, which I can understand. Sometimes, though it’s got an extra catagory labeled Other Sugars… can someone explain that to me?

Thanks!
