What can I have instead of milk during Phase I of the South Beach Diet?
Yazar: admin October 24, 2009I’m planning on starting the South Beach Diet, and I want to know what I can drink (or eat) instead of the skim milk I usually drink… I really don’t want to give up drinking milk… I’m 19
Don’t start the diet unless it’s a plan you intend to stick with long term. Although it’s not a bad way to eat (after the first 2 wks, which can be tough) the key to keeping weight off is making a lifestyle change (permanent)…not going on a temporary diet until you lose weight, then getting off the diet and going back to old habits.
I’ve been on Atkins (unhealthy) and South Beach, but they just aren’t eating plans most people care to keep up with forever. They are very limiting.
Lowfat milk is fine when you are trying to lose weight. Also, check out soymilk and other options. I shunned them for years thinking they must taste horrid, but I was wrong. I now use Almond Breeze (almond milk) in place of cows milk and it’s only 60 calories a cup and has a lot more and better flavor than skim milk (at 90 cals a cup).
Learn to eat right and make healthy choices…and exercise regularly for weight loss. That’s a lifestyle you’re more likely to keep up with.
To answer your question specifically though, during Phase 1 the SB diet book specifically says to avoid " milk (including lowfat, fatfree, whole, and soy)".
However, in phase 2 you can reintroduce "milk (light soy, fatfree, or 1%)".
How are you on the diet if you don’t have the book as a guide? If you do have the book, read it. The information is in there telling you what you can eat freely and what you should avoid.
If you can’t handle giving up eating or drinking something for 2 wks (the duration of phase 1 of this program) you need to work on your will power and self control.
Soya milk is healthier,

The South Beach diet is a horrible one.
The body needs the nutrients that are available in milk. Period.
Vitamin D, A, and Calcium are required to maintain a healthy life.
Without them, you can lose hair, bones will become brittle, your skin will become dry, flaky, and itchy. Your vision will fail, and your mood will significantly change. Your gums might start to bleed, and teeth will become weak. Your immune system will be compromised.
Eliminating milk is a bad idea unless you suffer from a lactose intolerance, in which case Soy milk has proven a great alternative.
Soy milk, however, should only be consumed by those who CAN NOT drink regular milk, as the health benefits are significantly reduced.
That being said, a proper diet consists of regular physical activity, eating properly, (boiled or grilled, rather than fried… Fresh fruits and veggies, moderation, etc.)
And maintaining a positive attitude.
The best guide for a diet has been around for a very long time.
The Food Pyramid.
Follow this, and you will be a healthy, happy person.

I’ve done South Beach and I’ve never given up milk before and I still lost weight. As long as you continue to drink skim that should be fine. And milk is actually proven to help cause weight loss, so I think it’s absolutely mandatory you continue to drink it.
In fact, I have often picked and chosen to keep certain things that Phase 1 doesn’t allow in my diet. As much as I love South Beach, it is a little over-the-top (especially Phase 1) and most of the time you need to tweak it a little to fit your lifestyle better. As long as you stay away from bread, pasta, and all that, you’ll be fine. Fruit is even okay, as long as you don’t go overboard.
