Hi Everyone,
Heres my dillema. I started the south beach diet around 3 months ago, on phase one. The first time around I fell off the wagon around day 5. The second time around I completed the full 14 days of phase one, while engaging in wieghtlifting and running. I lost my fair share of wieght. I then very, very, very, slowly headed into phase two, and have since upped my grains to 3 servings daily. I have not gained any wieght. My dillemma is that recently I remembered that I had a bite of a cookie by mistake on my 11th or 12th day on phase one. I am wondering if this would mess up anything sourrounding future wieght loss.

Thanks,
Z

So you took a few bites of a cookie 2 months ago and you are worried it will affect you now? That makes no sense. You are fine! I'm a little confused? lol

I'm a bit confused also. Your stats indicate that you are trying to lose 20 lbs total.

A male of 5'10" and you want to weight 135 lbs. Is this correct?

Also, the food lists says "starches" not just grains....it includes starchy veggies so try to mix up the grains with starchy veggies ie: sweet potato and butternut squash. 3 grains a day is actually quite a lot.

What are your current stats? Have you lost any of the weight that you are trying to lose? I would not be very concerned about a couple of bites of a cookie.

Alright, I guess I should not be worried about a few bites of a cookie. I've lost all the wieght i've needed to lose, and as i've said i've been on phase two for over a month. Last night I treated myself to some white Risotto rice. It tasted great, but I'm wondering if I should feel quilty or not. Any thoughts?
