I was very interested in both the question and Judy's response. The original book had words like "butter" and "bacon", and unless you'd been specifically told by your doctor not to at egg yolks, whole eggs were fine. I don't remember beans being stressed. Now it's all beans and turkey bacon.
I'm still trying to find a plan that works for me -- or that I can stick to -- and have been rereading South Beach books again. Turkey bacon and ground poultry isn't appealing to me, and beans, while good for digestion and potassium levels, are high in carbs. As for salt, I noticed that Atkins is now saying to have two 1/2 tsps of salt or cups of chicken or beef broth a day.
I was just about to relaunch another try at SB, based on the first book when, I saw mudley's post. (I have to say that one of the reasons I've been starting and restarting is that aren't a lot of Beachers around. Isn't that childish?
