I have been reading about people snacking on cheese sticks, and having ricotta cheese recipies for desert. I can't eat anything with milk products in it. :( Unfortunately. So, does anyone know of any really yummy snacks that don't include milk products? It would be a great help to me, as I am just starting this new lifestyle today. Thanks to everyone!

This came in the Daily Dish awhile back, but I haven't tried it:
Tofu for Dessert
Low-fat and versatile, tofu can help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and is being studied for its role in preventing osteoporosis. If you are lactose-intolerant, a vegan, or simply interested in a change of pace, try this sweet and satisfying Phase 1-appropriate dessert recipe:
Creamy Tofu Dessert, Serves 3
Ingredients
1 10.5-ounce package silken tofu
3 tablespoons fructose
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. |

Lisa,
A friend of mine has been lactose intolerant all her life; until she began eating in a manner similar to SBD a couple of years ago. Maybe you also will have similar results! |

| Good point--my mom is lactose-intolerant. She's been able to eat the pudding I make (I get the cook&serve type and boil it well) in phase 2, and also the "cream sauce" fish dish from the book. She also eats ricotta and other cheeses with no problem. But maybe she's less intolerant than you are. |

Thanks Kim.
I think that I am going to try a bit of ricotta....to see if I can tolerate it. It sure would make it easier for me if I could at least eat that. I could at least have a yummy desert once in a while. :D |

Hi, LisaMarie. I can't eat any dairy, but I seem to tolerate cheese made from brown rice milk. I buy it at Whole Foods, altho almost any healthfood store can order it for you. The company is Soyco Foods. The Nutrition Facts are for 1 oz.: 3 g fats, .05g sat. fat., 1.5g monounsat fat, 1g polyunsat fat., 0 cholesterol, 390 mg. sodium, 1g. total carb, no sugars, 6g protein. It has a little casein in it, but it doesn't seem to bother me much. This cheese comes in 6 different flavors, the cheddar and mozzerella chunks ($3.59/12oz) are my favorites, along with the American and Swiss pre-wrapped slices, which are more expensive. I can't eat soy, so this is a great alternative. This company also makes soy cheeses, but to me they taste weird.
I know this might sound weird, but I eat beans for a snack. Filling and very satisfying. 1/2 is a lot of beans...
Good luck!

Hi Burdle,
Thanks for the info on the cheese. I will look into that. I can't eat soy either, and the company name Soyco confused me a little, and then you said that you can't eat soy. But when I read that they make soy cheese also, I understoon it's name. And beans for a snack, that's a great idea too. I like them, and they can be filling too. So, I will try that also. I appreciate yours and everyone elses ideas and suggestions on here, keep them coming!

Concerning the Tofu recipe. It calls for "Fructose." This is a natural fruit sugar, right? Are we allowed to use this? I'm still searching for a sweetner for my friend that he can tolerate. So far, not one of the artificial ones taste sweet to him.
If anyone knows, please post this. :D |

| Fructose is listed in the Good Fats, Good Carbs Guide as Good. It is, however, a sugar and it could make one hungry. The South Beach Diet book says that fructose is fruit sugar. Actually, it can also be corn sugar. I used to work in a healthfood store, and there was a controversy re: fructose because it can sometimes be made from corn and does not have to list this in the ingredients as corn sugar is considered fructose, along with fruit sugar. This can be very dangerous to someone sensitive to corn. The Guide lists a serving as 10 grams, 10 g. carbs, 10 g. sugars. |

Hi, judi. You can usually buy fructose at a health food store or bulk food store.

How are you with yogurt? People who have trouble digesting lactose (the naturally occurring sugar in milk) should have no problem with yogurt. The "live and active cultures" digest the lactose for you.
Why not try some good quality plain yogurt and add some berries to it? |

| And as for the desserts, why not substitute Splenda for the fructose? |
