still sort of overwhelmed
| Mon, 03-28-2005 - 4:16pm |
Hi!
I am trying this woe and am still overwhelmed by the amount of information I need to remember when doing this! I don't know why it's so confusing to me - I have the book and I am reading the posts and that's helping, but I was wondering if someone can just sum this up in two or three "rules" or guidelines - I know it's really oversimplifying it, but in my mind, I need to have this really cut and dried to do it - like, if I say:
1-no sugars
2-no processed foods
3-no "white" foods
would that be sufficient to follow phase two????
tia - I really want to make this work!

Hi Larissa,
In the "Getting Started" post, we have a good, brief, cut-and-dried article called "South Beach Diet 101".
thank you!
the list you gave me with the serving amounts really helps! and I've printed out the article.
thanks again!
Larissa
These meal planning guides really helped me (print out the foods to enjoy list too):
How to adapt your meal plan - Phase 2
In Phase 2, you'll gradually begin to reintroduce healthy carbohydrates into your diet. Here's how to do it: Week one and two: Add in two good carb choices daily. We suggest you reintroduce fruit at lunch, dinner, or as a snack, but it's not the best choice first thing in the morning at breakfast. We recommend a high-fiber cereal for breakfast. Week three and four: move to four good carbs choices daily: 1-2 fruits and 1-2 starches. Read more advice on reintroducing carbs here. Want specific food choices? You can now eat anything from the Phase 1 Foods to Enjoy list as well as items from the Phase 2 Foods to Reintroduce list.
