So i decided to try out the south beach diet. Most diets scare me because i think i won’t get to enjoy food anymore. This is especially difficult for a foodie like me but thanks to the internet i am now able to search for recipes, not just boring plain old recipes but delicious for foodie type recipes.

I wanted to share my first three dishes that i made to fit the south beach diet (phase one) requirements.
From L-R:
1. Sauteed Chinese long green beans with pancetta and shallots. I wanted a little more protein so i added some Cajun spiced shrimp cooked in olive oil. (recipe)
2. Spinach and arugula salad with avocado, tomatoes and cilantro feta chicken sausage topped with Annie’s Shiitake & Sesame Dressing.
3. Ham and cheese crustless quiche (recipe)

If you’ve ever been on this diet or any other diets and you have fresh ideas on how to make this journey easier please comment and leave some ideas for me and other readers.
