Is Protein Powder ok during Phase 1?

I thought GNC 100% Whey protein would be good, and ive been eating protein pancakes for breakfast bc i can't stand eggs.

I am not losing. EVerything else I am eating is strictly according to the plan and i drink over 2L of water a day.

Is anyone else eating protein powders and stalling?

Here's what the South Beach nutritionist says about Protein Powder:


Sorry, but protein drinks such as whey protein are not advocated on the SBD. Whey protein is a good product, however the SBD plan evolves around whole foods. Some good protein sources on the SBD are nonfat or low fat milk or soy milk, plain yogurt, beans, peanut butter and foods listed under protein.
