Today is Day 7 that I’ve been on the South Beach Diet so I figured I’d post my menu from the past week. I know the food choices are quite small or at least not what I’d normally grab for, so I figured it might spark some ideas for others on this diet. I am also drinking tons of water, which helps keep you feeling full.
