South Beach Diet again!

Okay, so I have fallen off the wagon and determined to lose those extra 20 lbs that seem to have creeped in since August 2012. The solution that comes to  mind first - Exercise! However I have not been able to do justice to that. think. Think. Think. Voila! South Beach Diet! Now with the added challenge of doing it vegetarian! Thanks to Google found a list of vegetarian options besides salads and soups that make up a carb-free Phase 1 menu. Long list of shopping done in the Indian store for veggies, beans and lentils. Another big shopping in the Asian store for vegetables and greens. (Some fun new items - wait till I post on them) So this is Day 1 of South Beach Diet - Take 2.
