when you get to phase 2 you can have a glass of red wine. Page 251 of the South Beach Diet Supercharged says... In Phase 2 you will be able to enjoy a glass of wine or two with or after a meal or a light beer on OCCASSION. Weight loss slows down during phase 2 but the trade off is that you're eating a much more varied diet.
thats good for you.. weight loss continues in phase 2 but at a slower rate and I think its much more liveable.
