Allowed South Beach Diet Foods

For a full list of allowed South Beach Diet foods, you need to consult the book with all the rules and look at the list of what foods to eat at which phases of the diet program.

However, you can learn a lot about the foods available for eating from the official South Beach Diet web site, located at southbeachdiet.com. The site offers demos of sample menus, plus information on the types of foods available during each of the diet phases.

Other places to learn about the available foods include online groups and discussion forums.

At these places, you can ask from other users about the available foods, recipies, and sample menus.
