I know that alcohol is not allowed on Phase 1, but tomorrow is my monthly girls night out. I don't want to sit there sipping water, so I'll allow myself one drink. What's a drink that would do the least damage to my Phase 1 - rum w diet coke or red wine? Or do you have other suggestions? Thanks so much!

You should really wait until Phase 2 before adding alcohol. Can you have a club soda with lime?


Once you reach Phase 2, it really doesn't matter whether you choose red wine or diet coke with rum.

Of course you SHOULD wait - and technically South Beach makes no distinction in chosing between wine and hard liquor. BUT - if you get rum and diet - you are are looking at 60-70 calories and NO carbs. If you get wine you are looking at 100 calories and about 5-6g carbs.

I'll do my best to abstain from alcohol. After all, I don't want my efforts wasted!

The reason Dr. Agatston doesn't allow them in Phase 1 is due to the

Sorry I should have added this too


Some beverages remain off limits even during Phase 2.

Beer is actually fine in phase 2.
