Raw veggies, including celery, green or red peppers, cauliflower and broccoli florets, served with hummus or a South Beach DietŪ-approved dressing
Dill pickles (seek out the no-sugar-added variety and limit your consumption if you're watching sodium intake)
Edamame (boiled soy beans, sold by the bag in the frozen foods section of most supermarkets)
Sunflower seeds (count these toward your daily nut/seed allowance)
Soy nuts
