Alcohol Recovery & South Beach Diet: Nutritional Meal Planning

Question
I am a recovering alcoholic, just began the South Beach diet.  I am required to abstain from all alcohol, including any amount found in foods.  I love to cook and would like information about nutritional meal planning which doesn't include any substance containing alcohol.

Answer
Tami,

Congratulations on taking steps to move your life forward.

I'm a little confused. Doesn't the South Beach Diet have a cookbook that you can use?

If not, there are some great cookbooks on www.glycemicindex.com that use a similar approach (that I recommend) to the South Beach Diet.

If you don't want to purchase something just use google to search for 'low glycemic recipes'. There are a ton.

Hope this helps.
