Many people complain about the south beach diet because they usually do not eat breakfast and that is difficult for them to change, but you'll soon see that making a quick omelet or plate of scrambled eggs with veggies to be as quick as making toast.



Here is what the breakfast stats should look like ideally bat the first stage of the South Beach Diet:

Protein: Quantity is not limited. See choices
Vegetables: Minimum 1/2 cup. See choices
