Like most people who've reached their 50s I have been on many diets in my life! My first thought when South Beach Diet was all I heard or read on television and online was that this is just another gimmick - sending me in search of impossible-to-find ingredients which combine with 23 other ingredients produce 1/8 of a cup portion size! That's what I thought at first and BOY WAS I WRONG.
Much to my surprise South Beach Diet is completely based on easy-to-follow concepts with ingredients even I can find in my village market. No extremes. The best news of all? South Beach diet really works.

Place 1 slice of turkey on a lettuce leaf spread with Cilantro Mayonnaise. Add 1 scallion and 1 pepper strip. Fold into a tight, cigarlike roll.
