A South Beach BEGINNER!

Just beginning the South Beach Diet TODAY!  I usually post on another Health board here at the village but was thrilled to find this board!


A bit of background on me..I am 56 , married and live in North Carolina.  My husband has agreed to go on the diet with me so that is a big help!


I did buy the main SB book, also a cookbook for 30 minute meals. At the moment I am working on a grocery list so I can purchase foods to support the diet.  And later today I am cleaning out the fridge so there will not be temptations there.


Any tips or advice on beginning the journey will be much appreciated!


Char

Hi! I'm just finishing up my first week and I feel GREAT. I'm missing my sweet foods a little, but definately not craving them. The recipe section

Hi Char! Welcome. And it's excellent that your husband will be helping! Mine is supportive, but not fully ON the diet with me. (He's been more health conscious and making better choices when on his own at lunch and such though, and I am proud of him for that)


The one thing I think it really important is to be sure that you've got sweet treats (legal ones, of course) in the house to keep yourself on track when you need a little something.

We are just a bit north of Charlotte. In fact, my husband works in Charlotte.

Yes, bought South Beach frozen meals! There were actually quite a few to choose from and I am thinking that I may use them to put in DHs lunch. Would sure make lunch making a lot easier on me.


I plan on adding a salad with the meals.
