Hi. It looks like you are off to a great start - but you're missing dairy. We need 1-2 cups of dairy per day on South Beach. The dairy guidelines are:
Low-fat milk (fat-free and 1%)
Fat-free 1/2 & 1/2 (less than 2 tablespoons)
Low-fat plain, vanilla, or sucralose-containing soy milk (4 grams of fat or less per 8 ounce serving). Be sure the product does not contain high fructose corn syrup
1% or fat-free buttermilk
Fat-free plain yogurt
Also, just a word of caution...although cheese is considered a protein and technically unlimited, it can be a 'diet-buster' due to the calorie content. You may want to think about cutting back just a little on your cheese servings.
Thanks Karen,
I'll keep that in mind. Today I've only had one serving of cheese and aslo had 8 oz of 1% milk w/ breakfast.
