First of all, no bad fats are allowed on South Beach. That means no full fat cheese, fatty cuts of meat like bacon, pork rinds, or foods containing sat or trans fats.
Carbs ARE allowed but they are good carbs. Even the first Phase does allow good carbs such as those in milk and yoghurt, tomatoes and other veggies PLUS legumes.
Check out the revised food list in this section.
I hope this helps. Any doctor I've spoken with thoroughly approves of this way of eating.
