Question: What Can't I Eat on Phase 1 of South Beach?
Answer: Phase one is the strictest part of The South Beach Diet. For two weeks, you'll be totally eliminating fruit, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, alcohol, and baked goods (The exclusion of these items is why some people may assume it's a low-carb plan.) from your diet.
