OT - South Beach Diet

I'm curious. Why would soy milk be off limits?

It isn't. Though you should be careful because sometimes it is sweetened. Since I've started reading labels I've been appalled at some of the things sugar is added to.

Next time you are at the store, go over to the canned goods and read some ingredient lists. Many brands add sugar to BEANS. Why in the world do we need sugar in our red beans?

No wonder people are diabetic.

MP had it on her list. I was guessing about the sugar but was wondering where she had seen soy milk as off limits.

I was just listing everything I generally couldn't live without. Some of it I suspected may be off limits. Other stuff, like soy milk and carrots, I just included for completeness.

Oddly, carrots were initially discouraged as having too high a glycemic load to be worth it. He's kinda loosened up some things, esp on dairy. If you buy the book, make sure you get a later edition or check the web for current food lists.
