    OMG. I had a V8!

    Yes, I'm on a serious bent to lose last winter's weight so I'm following the South Beach Diet. It works for me (when I actually follow it).

    So I drank a V8 . . . and didn't throw up.

    Just thought yawl'd want to know about this momentous event.

    Yay for you!

    V8 gives me wicked gas so I drink tomato juice instead.

    Oh great. Thanks for the warning.

    I can deal with the V8 only because I can knock back a small quantity fast. Tomato juice - not so much. Ewwwww.

    Should I give an update in a few hours?

    I make DBF go and brush his teeth when he's bought himself a bottle of tomato juice on a weekend and indulges in (virgin or not) bloody marys. Only then I will kiss him again.

    DETEST HATE YUCK at the taste of cooked tomato juice.
    Now Gazpacho.....

    Avoid fruit juices, i.e., sugar. Breakfast for Phase 1, Day 7, lists "vegetable juice cocktail."

    jobob, if you didn't return my SB cookbook, then who did? It was in the bag with the rescued pillow and now resides in the hutch. I just checked.
