weird about south beach diet

why does the author say in phase 2 he suggest not eating fruits for breakfast, yet the eating plan for phase 2 has fruits listed every morning for breakfast!

And it says avoid carrots in phase 1 yet there's a recipe in phase 1 with carrots (ok it's 'a' carrot but still...)

Not saying the book is hogwash now, but why tell us one thing and the eating plan says something else?? Unless he means not to eat fruit for b-fast right away for phase 2?

Help!

wow - I hadn't noticed that yet! He did specifically say he doesn't suggest fruit first thing in teh AM b.c it raises your hypoglycemic (sp?) levels too fast, too early in the day, so that you're more likely to crave other sugar and carbs throughout the rest of the day.

I'll have to take a closer look at the book when I get home tonight!

exactly - so why then put that for b-fast on day 1 -7 for phase 2 - strawberries one day, a berry smoothie the next day.....weird.

i'm going to not eat fruit for b-fast...maybe the eating plan is for those who have been phase 2 for awhile.

i wonder if i can e-mail him.....i want to find out the discrepency.
