What do you think

hi!


Today is my first day back to south beach. I have done it before but i got thrown off when i was allowed to introduce carbs back into my diet. i don't know how to just have one carb...and then i always loose control. I have decided to just stick to phase one...only allowing myself wine on the weekends.

Here is my menu for the day, can you tell me what you think:

Breakfast: 1 whole egg+ 1 egg white omlette with tofu hot dog (yuck) and 2% american cheese.

Snack: SF Jello

Lunch: lental curry soup with chicken

Dinner: poached flounder with cucumber salad (made with FF sour cream) and steamed asparagus.

Snack: riccotta cream made with SF cool whip and a tsp of natrul pb.

I am going to change my breakfast to Flax seed pancakes tomorrow because i really dislike eggs. But this is the gist of what i plan on eating. how does it look?

no one? :help:

It looks good to me....but I failed SB a few years back because I tried to stay on phase 1 tooooooo long.

(right now I am doing something inbetween Atkins and SB)

Imo most people have trigger carbs and can handle others. Maybe this time introduce the carbs very slowly (one at a time) to judge how your body reacts...

I can't imagine anyone staying on phase 1 their whole life.

Best of luck to you!

Does FF stand for Full Fat or Fat Free?

Did you feel satisfied all day with that menu?

[jennasouru]

hey. yeah after doing some research i think just re-introducing carbs back very slowly is a good idea. and still steering clear of breads and pastas (pasta is a HUGE weekness for me)

FF stands for fat free. i was fine yesterday. last night i did have the urge to hit the fridge but i just went to bed.

HI..sorry I didn't get to anwer you sooner!! :o
Your food looks OK to me....veggies with your breakfast or veggie juice, is on the meal plan chart so try to include it. :idea:
Sf jello is not a good choice for a snack....a protein and veggie is good. Natural peanut butter on celery is a favorite of mine. :yum:
Lentil curry chicen soup....that sounds fabulous!! :thup:
dinner and snack after look fine to me!! :thup:

Post to us in the weekly check in thread!! :wave:

ps- just want to add that I too, have bread and pasta as my weaknesses....I have pasta once in a while now. and I can control it!! It gets better!! :cool:

[Judynyc]

welcome ....not a terrible idea ...just maybe a misguided one.

Do your 2 weeks phase I and I'll show you how to do phase II when you are ready. At your weight, it is best for long term maintenance to not stay in phase I after 2 weeks.
If you could help me when it comes time to phase 2 that would be so great. i just think i dont know how to do it properly.

see? we did chat about this!! :D
