LapBandFan 22 Posted February 22, 2006 I have bought the books for the south beach diet and was wondering if any of you are following that diet plan? My question for you if you are banded is this..... How do you get all the food required in per day? THere is no way I can eat my requrired amount of Protein and get in 2 cups of veggies per meal....would you just use the veggies as your snack? Please enlighten me if you will. Thanks for any suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted February 22, 2006 Hi Ethel, My doc strongly suggests that I go either Atkins or low carb / south beach, etc. In the past I have tried both and have had success until my old eating habbits took over :mad: yadda yadda yadda lol. I would suggest getting your Protein in by drinking a Protein Shake (and they do make low carb ones) and eating your veggies. So yes, eat your veggies as a snack.< /p> Hope this helps.
