I'm planning to go on the SB diet this week. I bought the book and will be creating a blog to mark my progress. My question is whether or not I can make food substitutions during phase one? I'm not a big fan of the ricotta desserts and wanted to know if I had any other options. I'm also eager to know how other newbies are holding up!

The meal guidelines in the book are simply a guideline; you by no means have to follow those.

Hi & welcome!


Joy is right...just follow the phase 1 "foods to enjoy" list to plan your meals and snacks.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm heading over to take a look at the guideline now! I'm excited about taking the necessary steps to improve my overall health. This message board rocks (I've been hanging around my niece too much)!
