I was on South Beach and lost weight and I am wanting to go back on it. However, now instead of eating all the protein I can, I want to incorporate more of a plant based lifestyle approach, not solely vegetarian, but more vegetables. One piece of information I can't find is the bean servings per day per meal for a vegetarian so that if I want to do vegetarian (vegetable days) days, I can supplement in the protein. Does anyone have this info?

South beach is a vegetable based program-at least 4 1/2 cups per day, plus lean protein and dairy, and fruits and whole grains as you progress.
The recommended serving as far as I know (or at least as I do) is 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time, up to twice per day, and this can count as some of your veg0 -
Ok thanks. I did it before, but my approach was wrong. Lost weight but leveled off because I ate the minimum veggies and all the lean meat I wanted. Finally caught up with me so now I want a veggie emphasis approach. Thanks for the info!!0
