it hasn't been a problem for me but FH is having a hard time (yeah we're on day 2). I gotta make his lunch for work tomorrow. Today his lunch bag was - grilled chicken sliced with a little balsamic and sliced sun dried tomatoes, snacks were - baby carrots, celery sticks, edamame, sliced cucumbers, and a scoop of veggie tuna no mayo. he said it was tough because the snacks were 'no fun' (he used to have triscuits, a stick of string cheese, pretzels, and two granola bars). I know 12 hours is a long time to go with no fun but i'm clueless here!
Anyone??
TIA

Re: south beach diet meal-ish suggestions?
on south beach you actually arent supposed to haved carrots in the first 2 weeks bc they are starchy
and you can have string cheese (get reduced fat ones) ---you can eat as much cheese as you want but they recommend getting ff or reduced fat
nuts are also good snacks on south beach

whoops - see this is what happens when a guy does the food shopping and the diet-book reading! he thought it was just fruit. great. i had like 5000 baby carrots today! thanks for letting me know though.
i think we have almonds, i'll give him some of them!
he bought ff feta, i just would have to get really creative. he claims its difficult to eat in a car.
