1st day on the beach! have a question...

I noticed that it says vegetable juice cocktail, does that mean I can drink a 6oz. V-8?? Also I take the Viactiv calcium chews 1-2 times a day, can I still take them? Sorry if these are stupid questions but this is my first time doing something like this. I have put on 20 pounds in the past 2 years & I never had a problem with gaining weight until I turned 30 & took a desk job. I really like the support on this site!

This is my second day on the beach, but I am pretty sure that V-8 is okay. I am not sure about the Viactiv. The nutritional info is on the box, just check and look at the sugar if it is zero or less than 2 it should be okay.

I have a question about Legumes. It doesn't really go into which ones are okay. I thought I read somewhere that pinto beans should be avoided during Phase I. What about kidney or black beans?

Hi arthukd,


The complete list of legumes that are good on Phase 1 are incorporated into the veggie list.

Welcome to the beach! There are no stupid questions...ask away anytime!

Yes, you may have 6 oz V-8 per day. :-)

Good to have you here!

Thank you to everyone who replied!! I sincerely appreciate it & I will stock up on V-8 but for my Viactiv, I guess I will have my Women's One a Day multi-vitamin instead. I am enjoying the food, I made the vegetable quiche cups last night,they weren't too bad. For the Balsamic Vinegar, I used dried Basil and thyme instead of fresh but it still came out ok, just a little too tangy :) Thank you ladies & I wish you all the best on the beach :)
