OK so I don't usually answer questions about what foods one can have or what they shouldn't have on the South Beach Diet when one comes up, but I belong to a South Beach team and one of the ladies asked if Olives were OK for her recipe and I answered her that green olives are considered a fat and that she can have 15 green olives per serving or 1/2 TBSP of the oil.
Here is the point and the big deal. Another lady answered the question saying that olives are a fat and that black and green olives are good and that she can only have 5 olives per serving....
Are we working out of two different P1 and P2 lists??? How is that possible when everybody gets the same info from out the books? I am so confused right now. Which is the correct answer? I consult with the list on 3FC and over at the South Beach Diet forums (on another site) and all lists match. What list is she looking at? It's OK if I'm wrong and if I am then our lists must be updated (last updated here was May 2008). I am frustrated...this is not the first time where I've seen her servings to be off. Grrrrrrr.
