starting the South Beach??

I read thru most of the book and looked over the recipes and now I'm trying to come up with a grocery list to go food shopping tomorrow night (I really wanted to start this diet tomorrow morning but I couldn't get to the store today).

I have the obvious like chicken breast, salmon, nuts, etc. And some of the extras like I can't believe its not butter spray and olive oil but I'm sure there is some stuff I'm going to realize I'm missing when I go to cook these dishes. I don't have a healthy thing in my house right now, LOL!!!!

I have a ton more questions about what to eat, I am not into veggies or the more "exotic" recipes so this may be hard for me!!

Thanks so much!!!

here's an easy to follow meal planning guide










How to adapt your meal plan - Phase 1





The South Beach Diet™ is designed so that you can easily swap meals and ingredients. If you don't like eggs for breakfast, have low-fat cottage cheese or lean meat instead. Not a fish lover? Then choose lean beef or poultry. In Phase 1 of the diet, you can eat as many proteins and vegetables as you like, plus fats like olive oil. Fruit and starches aren't allowed until Phase 2. Here's a look at some general eating guidelines. For specific food choices, check out the Phase 1 Foods to Enjoy & Avoid list.

THANK YOU SUSAN!!!! Thats exactly what I was looking for. I love that second post with the chart. I read the book but wasn't getting specifics about WHAT to eat at each meal time, that helps alot.

One question though, I thought you couldn't have milk or yogurt the first 2 weeks???

Thanks again!!!! I guess I really should join the South Beach website, it looks like it has more info than the book does. :)
