I have also been trying the south beach diet. I have been cooking with beans lots. and making wraps with lettuce leaves. as I have missed my sandwiches. I have signed up for email news letters and one is from South Beach Diet. of course they want you to join but I haven't as it costs $$ but I do enjoy the daily tips from the free news letters. I have tried South Beach a few times and did feel better with more energy due to the low sugar. I have also been tracking all my food - scary at times. i use FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal a free site to track what I eat. I also made a large pot of soup - (chicken broth - beans & low carb vegs) I have been sipping it on and off today. I even blended some up to give it a creamy texture. Good luck have a great day.
