Starting Monday Need Stick with it tips
| Thu, 03-11-2004 - 4:28pm |
Iam starting South Beach on Monday and I am hoping to make it through Phase 1. If any down falls it will be snacking but I am hoping that I can maintain and lose at least 5 pounds min during the phase. Breakfast and lunch will be a challenge as well but I am determined to do it.
I have 40lbs to lose all together any idea how long it should take? And do you recommend that I buy the book, and the good carbs bad carbs guide?
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

For breakfast I just make the quiche cups and freeze them. That way in the morning I can microwave them. My bf also brings them to work with him :)
Snack: string cheese
As for lunch, I have made a big pot of soup and that last for days. It is easier to reheat a big bowl of soup or even chili instead of making a salad (for me atleast).
Snack: nuts
Dinner: something creative w./ chicken or beef. You can spice up your meats so they can be pretty tasty. A big salad and a veggie!
Dessert: I am not a ricotta fan for the dessert so I have light vanilla yogurt or jello.
It is hard to say when you will lose all of the weight that you want. I have been on and off the SBD since December. The most that I lost in one week was 7.5lbs. I am determined to stick it through this time. I started on Monday and have lost 4 lbs. Something that would help w./ the weight loss would be to go to the gym. Personally, for the first few days on Phase 1, I felt too "blah" to go to the gym but I am starting to feel better so I am going next week.
Hope this helps!!! :)
Hi Crystal & welcome,
I think you should read the book.
