South Beach without the lists?

From what I can tell, SouthBeachDiet takes a sensible approach to

consumption, and I'm interested in following it.

However, I'm not interested in following strict lists. I'm a label
reader and I have a good sense of the glycemic index.

Question: Does anybody know what levels of saturated fats, carbs and GI
(or glycemic load) values put a food in phase one, two or three?

With this small amount of information, I would no longer need to
consult lists.

My guess is that this is proprietary information, and I'm out of luck.

Thanks in advance,

I frankly can't understand the logic in your question.

There probably is no answer given the way in which you asked the question.

1) Eat Till SATISFIED, Not STUFFED... Atkins repeated 9 times in the book
2) Exercise: It's Non-Negotiable..... Chapter 22 title, Atkins book
3) Don't Diet Without Supplimental Nutrients... Chapter 23 title, Atkins
book
4) A sensible eating plan, and follow it. (Atkins, Self Made or Other)

SBD diet is not done on those terms, based on what I've read. Sounds like
you're trying to invent your own plan.

And how are can that be...probably easier than what you're suggesting.

Probably not available at all.

Actually, I find the SB lists very easy to follow. They are not rigid lists
at all -- simply lists of "foods to avoid" and "foods to enjoy." There does
seem to be a relationship to the glycemic index, and SB emphasizes "good
carbs" (not "low carb"😉. I found that I had a basic understanding of the
lists after only a few days, and it is not difficult or overly restrictive.
I suggest that you try it if you are interested in SB.
