Phase 2 Questions
Find a Conversation

Ive been on Phase 2 for a little under a week, but I still have a few minor questions:
1. A cup of milk really fills me up, (especially warm, with a splenda and sprinkle of cinnamon!) this can count as a snack, right?
2. I dont have a food scale, and I am having trouble visualizing 2-3 oz of protien, so I just eat until I feel satisfied (and sometimes a little more than satisfied...). I remember from other diets that a serving of protien is about the size of your fist or a deck of cards...does this hold with South Beach? And how many oz. is an egg? Or egg white?
3. Does your dessert after dinner count as your sweet treat? becasue I have been having a serving of sugar free jello after lunch, and a dessert after dinner(usually one of the phase 1 ricotta recipes, pistacio bark, or one of the other dessert recipes from the South Beach cookbook).
4. I found a iced tea mix called Carb Options. I read on one of the other posts that Crystal Light counts as a sweet treat if you have more that a certain number of cups a day. This Carb Options stuff seems to have no cals, carbs, or sugars in it (I believe crystal light has about 5 cals a cup or something?) So, does that mean that this new mix wouldnt count as a sweet treat?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Sophie,
Welcome!

Milk is dairy and is counted towards the recommended 2 cups in phase 1.
