South Beach Diet Results
Dennis, I'm curious, why not potatoes or carrots?
Potatoes for instance are an excellent source of all kinds of good stuff, you get more potassium from a medium potato than from a banana, and it also has nearly half your daily requirement of Vitamin C, it's also high in fibre (~10% of the dialy suggested amount, more than most 'whole grain' products) as well as thiamin, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, iron and zinc. All that and no fat, cholesteral or fat!!
Inquiring minds........
Best of luck.

An average medium potatoe has 9% of your daily suggested intake of Carbohydrates, but of that 9% only 1% is sugar, the other 8% is fibre.
If you compare "suggested serving sizes" of different vegetables to potatoes you might be surprised.
Brussell sprouts have 55% more calories, and 75% more carbs,
Broccolli has slightly more calories and more fat,
Peas have 300% of the calories, and 170% more carbs.
Oh, and to compare, Paneras whole grain miche (NOTE: a serving size of this product is 57 grams, a potatoe is 148 grams, or 2.6 times larger) has 320 mg more Sodium, and slightly more carbs than a potatoe does.
Best of luck.

I don't know about down there, but up here Subway has great salads too. My good lady has some pretty severe food allergies and our dining out options, especially at fast food joints, is severely limited, as are her choices.
The only problem is that they use the same shredded lettuce that they use as a topping on their salads.
Best of luck.

I tried a different plan, I lost 135 pounds in one weekend.
Wife moved out.
BP way down, stress way down, 20 pounds less of me.
I eat lots of veggies, both direct and indirectly (after it's part of a cow) and fresh fruit.
Exercise is mandatory or Deputy Dog goes crazy on me. For every mile I walk he and his sister do probably 5 miles.
As Cutter says, don't matter how you get there, as long as it's a good place.
Best of luck.
