Im just curious if someone can help me understand this, I have done many diet's in the past this will be my first go round with south beach. I have read through the book I need to check it out again, But im wondering how it's possible to get in all the calories your body needs with mainly eating veggies?! I know you eat more on phase 2 but with phase 1 it's mainly veggies and the proteins so that's probally why you lose weight at first because your not getting enough calories right? I don't know that's why im asking.. I have done other diets where veggie's are practicly free food cal wise. Thanks for helping me understand! Im just starting SB today!
