Hi to all! I am trying to help DH with phase I. Are refried beans allowed? If so, what kind. There are various ones such as no fat, vegetarian, etc. Thanks.

Hi and welcome!


Fat-free refried beans are fine in all phases.

NEW HERE ,I have been using some of the things in the SOUTH BEACH PLAN
I wanted to respond with what I have done to make "re-fried beans" without the FAT
I take regular pinto beans then put them in a food processor with seasonings, onions, garlic,. drain the beans first then process , I sometimes add a teaspoon of low fat sour cream to make it creamier

Sorry, but corn chips are not a good idea on any phase of South Beach.
