Hi. I just started SBD, and I am on day 2. So far so good. The food is good, I am satisfied, and only mildly craving doritos and oreos!! I read the book, and found alot of inconsistencies between the information in the book and the recipes. Is anyone else on day 2 that would like to go thru the ups and downs with me??

Thanks for your response. I am on day 3 today, and when I got on the scale I couldn't believe my eyes! I lost 7 lbs.!!! I am really motivated now. I am also 5'4" and 41 years old. I put on some weight only recently, so I am very excited to see it coming off. I am also looking forward to this new, healthier lifestyle. Are you exercising? I play tennis 1 -2 times per week, but that is about it. I started walking a few weeks ago, but have a hard time getting motivated/finding the time, etc. Hope all is well with you!!

I am only losing 1 pound a day. I have tried every diet under the sun. I never lose any weight. I have a very sluggish metabolism. I have exercised always. I usually walk 3 or 4 miles on a treadmill 3 times a week or swim about 20 laps. I try to do some weight training but usually too tired or busy. I have 3 kids. I have not been having trouble coming up with dinner ideas. I also keep it simple. 1st nite - grilled chicken breast w/ salad and grilled vegetables. Last nite - kids had breaded fish filets - I coated mine in dijon mustard and sprinkled 15 chopped pecans on top. Baked it 20 minutes. Tonight - kids had take-out chinese food - I ordered steamed chicken with vegetables (no sauce). But I am very hungry right now. I'm deciding between a sugar-free fudgesicle or a Dole sugar-free juice bar. Also, soup is great as long as you know what is in it. Chili is also fine if you don't use Pinto beans. But, black beans and kidney beans are okay. Keep me posted on your progress. Good night!

I must have had a lot of water weight - my scale register 11 lbs. lighter this morning. I feel great about it, but I am also a little skeptical, and afraid it will suddenly come back. I am pretty satisfied with the food choices. My toughest time of day is between lunch and dinner, and the chees stick isn't doing it for me. Yesterday I had some extra nuts with the cheese. I guess that was okay. I am so sick of eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even really like them. Any ideas on what I can have for breakfast that does not have an egg in it???
Hope all is well!

Thanks for the breakfast ideas. I'll try one tomorrow. Yeah, I'm a little worried about the weekend too. My husband is following the diet too - but he is still drinking wine at night. He is losing weight, but I am trying to teach him about digestion and insulin, etc. because he didn't read the book. He doesn't care, he still wants wine with dinner, and figures that he will continue to lose because he is cutting back on all the other bad carbs. We'll see. Do you like fresh tuna? If you do, I have an amazing recipe.
Continued good luck,
Karen
AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK THROUGH THE BOOK BACK AND FORTH TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO. IT MAKES SENCE, I HOPE THE TESTIMONIES ARE TRUE AND I HOPE I CAN DO IT LONG TERM. I HAVE ABOUT 25 POUNDS TO LOOSE, I'M 5 1 153 PDS, 47 Y/O.
I LENT THE BOOK TO MY BOSS FOR 2 DAYS SO I REALLY COULDN'T LOOK AT THE MENUS.
WRITE ME BACK!
Here's a response I sent to someone with the same questions about onions and other inconsitencies.
Good Luck!

Onions are allowed in Phase 1. Although they are not listed on the vegetable list, they are an ingredient in almost every recipe. Good luck!
