I asked this question before but I never looked for a reply and now that I am starting today, I NEED help...

Thanks...

Midmorning snack -

or

Chicken Caesar salad (no croutons)

or

Dinner

Grilled chicken breasts

Hope this helps. Lots of water too!

I am in P2 W2 and I am down 12.5 pounds and inches as well.

CATHY and RIA...

Thanks so much. This gives me a general idea. I am ALL about a healthy lifestyle but as most, I would liek to lose a few pounds...the *right* way. I usually eat sausage links and an egg for breakfast, cheese or SF jello for a snack, a salad or a veggie mix for lunch, and dinner I eat a lean meat with veggies or egg/tuna salad on low carb bread. Then for a pm snack, I do the Atkins ice cream cups, SF Jello, or celery with peanut butter.

I feel good and have lost 12 lbs. 8 more to go...

Good Luck....and thanks,

The good doctor stresses lean meats. I have lean turkey sausage. Some will tell you that sausages are a no go, but if it has worked for you, hey, do so!

Don't forget to eat your veggies. SBD is granted beans. If you are sticking to 20 carbs a day, you might not benifit from a true SBD, but who knows! lol. Take care! COngrat on you weight loss!
