Can't eat it all

Hi everyone,

Today is my second day on the SBD (keep wanting to call it Silent But Deadly, LOL!). Last night I had the biggest dinner -- huge salad, whole chicken breast, 1 cup soy milk and some carrots. I was stuffed to the gills. Since I have no sense of portion control, which area should I make smaller? Probably the salad, because it was about 2 portion sizes (but not smothered in dressing, thank goodness).

Also, are carrots allowed on South Beach?

Today I could not eat all my lunch, either.

Here's my menu for today so far:

BREAKFAST

2 eggs + 3 slices canadian bacon

1 12 oz can V8

1 cheese stick

SNACK

15 pistachio nuts

LUNCH

large salad with 1 med. can chicken breast

1 cup yogurt with 15 walnuts

1/2 cup gelatin

I feel like I am going to pop! What should I limit? Maybe have only one egg? Help!!

Christa

confused as always!

Christa, I just realized when I looked at the "updates" again.....no carrots on Phase 1.

Thanks!

Once I had finished the huge salad and most of the chicken breast, it was all I could do to gag down about 1/2 cup of carrots. In the future I think I won't make any more food until I finish eating the salad, it REALLY fills me up! And it's just romaine lettuce, tomatoes and peppers with Good Seasonings dressing. Go figure!
