30 Pistachios. Seriously.

So on Phase 1 of South Beach you can have nuts. But you can't go crazy with them.

I can have 30 pistachios a day. Which even with their shells on make a pretty pathetic-looking snack. So this morning I parcelled out 30 and put them in a little napkin. I'm pretty sure this is the kind of thing the Donner Party did for their last meal. (Okay maybe their second-last meal.)

  1. I'm dying to know...how strong did you have to be, how difficult was it, to refrain from using the phrase "you can't go nuts with nuts?"

    Have you checked into almonds? Maybe you can have more of those.

    Just a thought.
    But I'm nuts.

    Green out.

  2. It was pretty tough, frankly. No wine, sugar, starch AND no schmaltz?
