The South Beach (Cuban) Diet
BREAKFAST
Café con Leche: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we begin it with
the drink of generations. Café con Leche, the life's blood of the Cuban breakfast. Must
use whole milk. Nothing will jump start your metabolism quicker than caffeine and
calcium. Café con leche is to the Cuban child what a triple-shot, double vanilla nonfat
mocha latte
dark is to a member of corporate America .
Cuban Tortilla: (not to be confused with a
Mexican tortilla) Cubans will take beaten
eggs, add anything they could find in
the ' Frigidaire ' , fry it up in a pan and
call it a tortilla. Then they will take this
egg concoction and put it between
two eight inch slices of Cuban bread
(cannot be substituted by whole wheat
bread) and call it Pan con Tortilla
(Carbohydrates, Protein, Starch and Cholesterol
all rolled up into something that gives you more energy than the strongest protein
power bar.
Note: It is a proven fact that when you combine carbohydrates, protein,fat, starch and
cholesterol in just the right combination, they all counteract each other and have
absolutely no detrimental effect on the human body. Of course,

ingredients, like Malta or Pepsi, to make a heavenly creation.

Manana' Do this at least 5 times every 15 minutes before going to
work. The walking and the laughing will really get your blood
circulating!
Monday: Pick up Abuela at her 'Plan Ocho' apartment, take her to 1)
pick up her 'checquecito'at the welfare office 2) pick up her
'sellitos' at the food stamp office 3) take her to lunch with her
amigas at 'el comedor de los viejitos' 4) to the doctors office for treatment of
