Nooooooo, I need you! Aren't you the South Beach queen? I was on Atkins for two years and fell off the wagon. I have gained back 21 of 28 pounds lost. I have been eating what I want for about a month probably. I started SB this morning. Any breakfast ideas?
Ok, I will try and help BC!! Do you have the book? If not, here is a few recipes from the book that I used.
Easy Asparagus and Mushroom Omelet
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
3 stalks fresh asparagus
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzeralla cheese
Boil 1" of water in a large skillet. Add the asparagus and cook, uncovered, just until tender-crisp. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until the whites and the yolks are completely blended. Coat a 10" nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until just hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water is added. Pour in the egg mixture. It should set immediately. With a spatula, lift the edges as the mixture begins to set to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath. When the top is set, fill one half of the omelet with the asparagus, mushrooms, and cheese. With the spatula, fold the omelet in half over the filling. Slide onto a serving plate. Serve immediately. Serves 1.

Good Luck, BC. I really liked most of the recipes in the book. You have to like to cook to follow this program. I got a little lazy the last few months, but I am going to get back in the swing of things.
