can you answer my question

i am asking for a friend she is going to have the surgery done and she was told to use the south beach diet for 6 weeks before surgery could you tell me if she has to do this because she cant afford the meals is there another way [email protected]

I worked with a gentleman who used the South Beach Diet and he never bought any pre-made meals. He bought the book and used the recipes from that. Also, if you have access to the internet, you can go online and look up recipes that are from the book. She could also borrow the book from her local library if she doesn't want to buy the book. I am saying, NO, she does not have to buy the meals but she can still follow the South Beach Diet. Hope this helps!
