She said all fat. Didn't acknowledge protein or carbs at all. That's
what prompted my response.

2-3 cups of veggies is the minimum on Atkins. The sky's pretty much
the limit.
Back to South Beach. Breakfast is usually a nice omelette. I eat
large salads for lunch (usually including meat and/or cheese), then an
enormous pile of broccoli for dinner along with a serving of lean
meat. More variety will be added soon.
I can start introducing fruits after the first two week period - Phase
1. I can't wait for that first apple!
