I have been on the Southbeach, and I would be still if I knew how to organize healthy lunches at my current work situation (I'm phase 3 without having gotten to my goal) ... this will take planning and strategery(tm).
So, it being said that I am not in the boat properly now... there is a lot of deliciousness in the diet. After the two weeks fruit tasted remarkably sweet and delish. During the first two weeks I treated myself to a morning cheese omelet with a tomato salad, because my usual breakfast was quick and not particularly satisfying, so it really was a treat. I made cooking an adventure, but I had the good fortune of already enjoying green vegetables and mushrooms...
Oh, where was I? Oh yeah! South Beach Cookbook has some good ideas, too. And I wouldn't have survived phase 1 without ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder or cinnamon. But I don't know if you like the texture of ricotta. ah well, still, an idea!
Good luck and keep at it. You are in control, not your cravings. They're driven by evolution saying you need to eat to survive, too bad evolution didn't realize we were going to develop high fructose caro and partially hydrogenated stuff, and those pesky cars and nothing I need being within walking distance (grumble)
