Well, today was my first day on the diet. I think I did pretty good considering I had quite a stressful day at work. I even got my 30 min of exercise in the am.
Breakfast: 2 egg scrambled with spinach, onion and mushrooms. 1 6oz tomato juice
Lunch: A large romaine salad with red bell peppers, cucumbers, lowfat swiss cheese and olive oil vinegratte.
Snacks: A string lowfat mozzarella, 30 pistas
Dinner: Spicy Split yellow peas with tomatos (Dhal) and Cauliflower saute (curry) with romaine lettuce.
Well today was day 1 for me and DH. I hope I did okay. It is hard to change from Atkins frame of mind to eating balanced with higher carbs.
B: 2 eggs and 2 slices bacon
S; moz. string cheese
L: 12oz bag of bussuel sprouts
S; 15 almonds
D: savory chicken saute, mock mashed potatoes and green beans
I have drank coffee and some iced tea today, no water.
I just wanted to say that I have found some great info on this board so far. I printed out the food list and put it on the fridge for Dh to read.I do have a few questions though. I thought I read some where about only 2 servings of dairy and day, but can not find it in the book. If you know where it was I would love to find it. Also what eles are you guys doing for the times when you just have to munch and you have had your nuts and cheese for the day? I have read the book all the way through once and stilll I find myself rereading parts of it, I know being here will be great.
Here are the updates since the book was published:
Published 1/20/04) The South Beach Diet (SBD) continues to evolve as new nutritional studies and information come out. Recently, the results of new studies have shown that some of the "foods to avoid" may not be as bad for us as the original studies on glycemic index demonstrated. There are also some new, exciting studies about the role calcium plays in weight loss. The end result is that you can continue to enjoy all of the foods recommended for the SBD-as well as adding back in a few of your favorites! Here are the major changes:
Milk:
Old Version: Avoid all dairy in Phase 1, except for less than 2 tablespoons fat-free ½ and ½, nonfat milk, 1 percent milk, or soy milk allowed with coffee.
New Version: Phase 1: Now includes 1 percent or fat-free milk, low-fat plain soy milk (4 grams of fat or less per serving), 1 percent or fat-free buttermilk, and fat-free plain yogurt on the Phase 1 "foods to enjoy" list. Limit dairy to 2 servings a day. Note: Feel free to flavor your fat-free plain yogurt like a ricotta creme.
Phase 2: May introduce artificially sweetened nonfat flavored yogurt, but limit this variety to 4 ounces daily. Note: Since the SBD is still low in saturated fat, high-fat whole milk products will remain on the "foods to avoid" lists for all Phases.
Tomatoes:
Old Version: Limited to one whole tomato or 10 cherry tomatoes per meal in all Phases.
New Version: Not limited in any Phase.
Onions:
Old Version: Limited to ½ per day in all Phases.
New Version: Not limited in any Phase.
Carrots:
Old Version: Avoid carrots in Phase 1 and 2; allowed in moderation in Phase 3.
New Version: Allowed, starting in Phase 2.
When I'm done with my nut allotment for the day, I snack on roasted garbanzo beans or celery & hummus or cherry tomatoes.
