Skim Milk

  • I just noticed that it has A LOT of carbs and sugar. Is this good to have for Phase 1?
  • He suggests 2 cups of it a day. Atkins always said no skim milk because of the carbs. Remember, South Beach is not a "low carb" diet. There's something magical about the combo of 4.5 cups veggies, 2 cups low fat or non fat dairy, 1 serving of beans. It just works.
  • The sugar in milk is lactose and is OK. It's sucrose, fructose and some of the other Ose Family who are eliminated in Phase I.
  • Awesome!! Thank you! This board is awesome.
