I have started the SBD again so I am not completley new to the diet; however, I can not find anywhere if it is ok for me to have Unsalted Dry Roaster Sunflower Kernels - and if so, how much????????

to 3FC and to The Beach!
Check out the revised Phase I Food List in the FAQ. The book you have may be outdated.

Ruth, Can you tell me what the new book looks like or the Copyright date. I cannot find 'any' new book and my DH is on SB and wants to succeed. TIA

Sorry, Kelly, but I have no idea what it looks like. I understand there is a paperback version that has the updated food lists but have not seen it. The Lists ijn our FAQ are kept current so your DH could use that.

Thanks but he is such a skeptic that unless he sees it in an official form he won't beleive it. LOL! Thanks again. Ya'll are very, very helpful.

I have a paperback version. I got it at Barnes and Noble. It is a little blue Paperback. No pictures on the cover, just "The South Beach Diet". It was copyrighted 2003. I don't see sunflower seeds on any of the lists. Do you have nutrition facts?
Maybe you can make a decision based on sugars.carbs.calories? I'm sure there would be a limit though. Whenever I have has sunflower seeds (and they could be different), they were pretty salty. If they are high in sodium, you could retain water.

The updated list is from the official South Beach site. Trust us!

Thanks everyone for your help.

The Nutrition facts are:
1/4 cup (1 oz)
Total Fat: 15g
Sodium 0 mg
Total carb: 5g
Sugars 1 g
Protein 6
Dietary Fiber 4 g

Thanks again :-) It is nice to know you can get support when you need it. Hope you all have a great day.

Page 102 of the first version of the South Beach Diet Good Fats Good Carbs guide lists Sunflower seeds as Good with a serving size of 1 TBSP. It is listed in the section title Seeds.

The Good Fats/Good Carbs book gets more specific than the diet book. That is why they came out with it.
