RD, a question for you...What kind of bread do you use for your toast and sandwich? SouthBeach advocates whole grain breads, not the "fake" wheat bread or white bread that most of us buy. I don't have the book in front of me, but the author says that a piece of white bread is just like eating plain on sugar because of the refined flour. If you eat a denser bread (I like Pepridge Farms multi grain) the added fiber will help with your weight lost goals.
Also, what kind of fruit are you eating? Some fruits are much higher in sugar that others--for instance watermelon and pineapple are the worst, while berries (like blue berries and strawberrys) and apples are much better for you. Again, this is all according to Southbeach, so take it with a grain of salt!
Good luck!!

great points!! I forgot to add that the toast should be whole wheat. I have said it so much that I just take it for granted now.
And you're right about the fruit. IF anyone wants to look up nutritional info on different fruits they should check out www.fitday.com
