Can you have protein shakes on the south beach diet? If so, does it have to be the powder you mix at home, or can I also buy the premade ones???

Commercial shakes (and bars) are generally not allowed on Phase I. See the recipe section for allowable home made shakes.

Thanks so much for the help. I didn't even think to look there. I am just a guest here. I think I am going to register, this seems like a great help.
