Yer welcome....We gotta stick together and make this work, and easy as possible! LOL...

This is what I had yesteray the 20th

B 2eggs scrambled with sausage and cheese
S none
L Hotdog with cheese wrapped in a lettuce bun w/mustard
S String cheese and Diet Cherry Coke
D Grilled chicken salad with lowfat Ranch Dressing and cheese

Those of you posting salad on your daily menu... you don't mention salad dressing. Are you eating your salad dry?

and those of you posting caesar salads, are you using bottled dressing, or creating your own recipe?

And i'm noticing no portion sizes with lima beans, or other legumes.. Is there a portion size per meal?

The person that posted the whole wheat pasta with sauce, you didn't say whether you had 1 cup or 12 oz and did you measure it before cooking or after cooking? Was it angel hair or linguini? and marinara sauce, you didn't say whether it was 1 T or 1/2 cup of sauce.

Does size matter in portions?

thank you for your response.

Hi I had for a snack s/f chocolate covered grahams cookies. Is this considered an allowable snack?

Hi All, I think I may be a little confused. I thought that eggs and protien were unlimited unless they were high in fat (like fatty meats). Because I have quite a stretch between breakfast and lunch, I will sometimes have 3 eggs and turkey bacon.. here's a typical menu for me. Let me know if this looks okay:

B: 3 eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon (if no bacon i will add some lowfat cheese to my eggs)
S: Mozarella String Cheese
L: Chicken Ceaser Salad (bought from a nearby restaurant)
S: 15 nuts
D: 2 pieces of grilled chicken or 1 sirloin steak (small size) and a vegetable like Cauliflower or a large salad with fresh baby spinach leaves instead of another type of lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, and low carb dressing.

Let me know - I have used the Ketone strips and it shows that I am burning 'em - but seem to have slowed on the weight loss.

that tex - mex chicken sounds tasty stacy!
one thing. i'm not sure if you know this but chili powder is a combination of paprika & cumin.
either way your recipe sounds good enough to make you do jumping jacks!

(i didn't get any responses to any of the posters on these subjects that
posted, will try again. thanks)

here's how i eat my salad:

i dont use lettuce i use baby leaf spinach in which i drizzle extra virgin olive oil over it and then top with grated pecorino romano cheese. sometimes i add black olives. i never use vinigar because it kills the taste of the salad.

Hi!
The South Beach diet book says the serving size for lima beans and the types of beans he allows on Phase 1 (black. kidney and 1or 2 others I can't recall, no pinto or navy during lphase 1) is 1/2 cup.

Hi,
Are the chats transcribed and available on the forum? I've looked but, did not find. I'd love to see what Dr. Agatson has to say.

Thanks a bunch

The chats with Dr. Agatson are available at the official South Beach site. It costs $65- per year to join that site. Its worth the money if you use it but I don't go there too much as I have what I need here.
