Starting Tomorrow
| Sun, 12-07-2003 - 7:47pm |
I am starting the beach 2-morrow and I am worried about starting off the day without normal coffee. On top of that I have a tone of questions and I need help. I've done weight watchers and failed and now I am on to the beach. Is it easy enough to follow, even for someone who does shift work. Even the graveyard shifts?

Let's get the big stuff out of the way first - you do NOT have to give up coffee. You just have to give up the sugar in it. And use just a splash of Fat Free half and Half or the non-flavored coffeemate.
IMHO, the SBD is fairly easy to follow. I failed multiple times on Weight Watchers, and always felt like I was going crazy trying to keep count of everything in my head. I started the SBD last Saturday, and am down about 5 lbs in the first week. So, I am pretty excited, and I have found it easier to stick with.
I'll be honest, the first few days it seemed like I was going to the grocery store everyday and spending a lot of time cooking. But, that's just because it took some getting used to, as I had been in the awful habit of eating frozen pizza, frozen entrees, or cereal for dinner previously. If I cooked, it was usually pasta. So I had some adjsuting to do.
I find grilling to be the ideal way to cook, and since we just got about 12" of snow, I went out and bought the George Foreman grill this weekend. A great easy way to cook healthy dinners.
Good luck and stay positive.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'll let you know how day 1 goes.
Good luck!!!
