My advice is to just make sure you are eating enough! I know when I did the SB diet, it seemed like I was hardly eating at first, but I just wasn't as hungry for some reason. However, if you don't eat enough, you WILL get hungry and feel weak and get headaches.
A favorite snack of mine was celery with laughing cow cheese. I also like(d) to eat raw veggies (grape tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery, broccoli, etc.) w/ dressing. You can make your own dip with sour cream and spices or just buy a low sugar ranch or blue cheese. I also ate a lot of hummus.
For breakfast, I also liked to have those veggie sausage patties or links. They are a good source of protein and filling. I also enjoyed the mini breakfast quiches from the SB book.
I made hard boiled eggs so they were available to grab when I needed a quick snack and didn't want a piece of cheese or a handful of nuts.
I also drank a glass of low-sodium V8 every day.
Don't bother buying the "South Beach Diet" ready snacks or foods. They are not good.
That's about it for now. Just make sure you are eating enough. 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks....which ends up being like 5-6 mini meals a day, although dinner (or lunch) should/could be big. It is so easy to make a protein (fish, poultry or meat) with a big side of veggies and even a salad.
Good luck!
