However, I generally can't stand diets that make certain foods "bad". That's why I lean towards Weight Watchers - where you can basically have anything, in moderation.

Does SBD eliminate permanently any of the following foods (I am okay with a week or so of cutting them out, but not for forever):

Wine
Oatmeal
Coffee ( )
Soy milk
Pasta (whole wheat or not)
Wheat bread
Cereals (not lucky charms, but things like Shredded wheat, Kashi, etc.)
Carrots
Potatoes
Nuts

These are things I would not choose to live without (again, in moderation. well, except for coffee) and seem like targets in a lot of diets.

Thanks.
potatoes are pretty much the only "bad" thing... cuz they have a high glycemic index... they are definitely a NO NO during phases one and two... very limited if you are following the ruled strictly.. in phase 3

i forget some of the phases... but

Wine - RED is ok in phase 2 I THINK
Oatmeal - as long as it's not the sugary processed kind
Coffee ( ) OK in ALL phases
Soy milk OK all phased (light is preferred, of course)
Pasta (whole wheat or not) whole wheat phases 2 & 3 (less in 2 than 3 though)
Wheat bread whole wheat phases 2 & 3 (less in 2 than 3 though)
Cereals (not lucky charms, but things like Shredded wheat, Kashi, etc.) heathy kinds like kashi.. yes... 2 & 3... again... more limited in 2.. you lose more weight the less you eat in phase 2
Carrots - ok but have a high glycemic index
Potatoes
Nuts - dry roasted in all phases!
