Hello Everyone,
I started Phase 1 of the SBD today, I planned for this start date for almost a month. I have read the books and have been a secret lurker on the board for about a month. I am very nervous, I would say I have dieted before. I have been overweight my entire life and I have just been going through life. I am finally making a change and I started today. So, I will be a fixture and I am a little nervous and scared to start something. I just want to make sure I complete Phase 1 and be sucessful. So today....
Breakfast: Ice tea w/ two splendas and turkey roll ups with cheese
Couldn't have my snack, I left it and had to sit through a long meeting
Lunch: I made turkey tacos for lunch today sans the shell with lettuce and spinach ---Water
Snack: Hard boiled eggs ---ewww I am not an egg person
Dinner: Steak with garlic and lemon zest, spinach and broccoli
I have made extra turkey for more tacos this week in case I feel lazy. I bought 4 different types of lettuce which is so strange. I am just always making list to see what I would want, I am a very picky eater, I hate leftovers, and I bought just different things to munch on.
Quick Question: Its not in the food list, can I eat Hummas during this first phase. I looked at the ingreds. at the store and its 1g Carb and no sugar. I just didn't know.
Thanks again for all your help!!!!!

Hi,
Welcome to the South Beach board.
Welcome to the board and to SB!
Hi and welcome!
Good luck as you get started and let us know if you have any questions!
WELCOME!
Hi and welcome!
Hi, and welcome -- you've already gotten great advice, so I only have one thing to add...if you don't like eggs, don't eat them!
I agree with Joy! One of the best things about south beach is how many food choices we have. Definitely don't force yourself to eat something you don't like!
You're off to a great start! I hope to see you around often!
Thank you ladies for all of your help and advice. I will start the food journal, I hope that helps.
