Check out the slim down thread in the NRW forum - they talk about south beach and ideas.

In answer to your question you can have hummus with veggies, as long as they are the veggies allowed in phase one.

Re: South Beach DIET - Need Ideas for phase 1

you can have almost any veggie - just cut out the starchy ones like corn, potatoes, etc.

here's a good recipe for a phase 1 friendly dessert (but remember no more than 2 tbsp of peanut butter a day)... hey you need something tasty to get you through those first two weeks - they can be rough. now that i'm back from my honeymoon, i'm gearing up to get back on the beach:

South Beach 'Peanut Butter Cup'
Serves 1

Ingredients
1 SF fudgsicle
1-2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1-2 tablespoons light frozen whipped topping or whipping cream

Instructions
Take a SF fudgsicle and scrape it off the stick (microwaving it for about 10 seconds helps). Then stir in 1-2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and 1-2 tablespoons of light whipped topping. Mix together and enjoy.

good luck!!! feel free to fm me any q's.

I joined south beach diet on line. It was very helpful. You get recipes and tips and there is a forum where you can get advice and information.

You can have all veggies except carrots, beets, corn, potatoes and yams...

I stick to meats and low fat cheeses...they fill me up quicker as opposed to munching on cheeses

They revised the ban on carrots and for phase 2, you can have small bananas too. Apparently, they don't affect your blood sugar the same ways as corn, etc.
