I just started the Phase I of the SBD today! We had chili last night for dinner and had leftovers. Is this ok to eat in Phase I? I was thinking of having some for lunch. It has drained ground beef, a variety of canned beans, onions and chili seasoning mix. I would add a sprinkle of cheese and a little bit of sourcream.
Thanks,
Dana

Hi Dana!
Chili is fine in phase 1, however until you get to phase 2 you should try to avoid pre-packaged seasoning mixes because they usually contain some form of sugar and modified food starch which can cause cravings.
HTH,
Thanks! We used the McCormick seasoning mix.

I really like it so let me know if it seems to be ok for Phase 1 or not. If not, how else would I season chili?
Hi,
It wouldn't be terrible if you ate this.
