I am excited about the South Beach Diet, but I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with.....Why is V8 limited to 6 oz a day? and Why can we eat kidney beans but not pinto beans on Phase one? Just wondering.....thanks!

Hi & welcome,


V-8 is limited because we should be eating the whole vegetable for the fiber content.

Hi Susan and thank you! After reading several of the posts I can see this will be helpful and maybe even make it fun..... Fun??? a diet...but why not! I have a couple of quick questions...what brand of peanut butter is allowed on phase I? Is it ok or even advisable to have additional fiber such as psyllium husks? I have diverticulitis and sometimes salad greens and other leafy veggies doesn't set well..... the psyllium seems to help... Thank you! Renee
