Re: what exactly is the South Beach diet??
There are 3 phases to the South Beach Diet.
Phase 1 is the most strict and you do it for 2 weeks. basically no carbs, no sugars (including fruit). Only lean meats, veggies, low fat dairy.
Phase 2 is the longest, you stay on till you get to your ideal weight, and slowly add in small amounts of approved fruit and roughly 1 approved carb per day (wheat bread, oatmeal, etc.)
Phase 3 is maintenance.
Each phase has list for foods that are allowed and foods that are not allowed.

Hmm, that's not true. Chicken is definitely allowed in Phase 1, as long as it is breast. No chicken parts like wings, legs, anything with skin . . .
