Love the One You're With (or the one you're permitted to be with)

I decided to approach this diet the way I approached college -- do the minimum I need to do for the desired results. So I scoured the South Beach website to find foods I like -- and I will eat the living daylights out of them.

If I can't have pasta, I'll just have to develop a much more intimate relationship with chickpeas, or anything else that tastes starchy. So take that, penne!!
