Hi-My husband and I started South Beach recently. I am also interested in low fat diets such as Dean Ornish new book The Spectrum. but it is hard to give up lean protein. My husband has a problem with pepporoni, hard salami, sausage, steak, etc. He had to go to sales lunch today and told me he had bbq sausage, pinto beans, and green beans. Guess he thinks sausage is legal! Love all the ideas and support, keep it up!

Hey SAnativegirl, and

Have you visited our "South Beach Diet" forums yet? It might be a good place to start...lots of Beacher's with plenty of ideas, tips, and tricks.

Otherwise, settle in and keep posting. I can't wait to hear more from you soon!
