Starting South Beach

Good Morning:


i just recently decided I was going to start the  South Beach way of life.  One of my girfriends recommended this board as a means of support and tips.  My first day of Phase 1 will start tomorrow.  I read the book and definetly feel I suffer from true cravings.  For example, I can eat what I think is a well balanced meal and I'm STARVING an hour to an hour and a half later.  I plan to arm myself with lots of chicken, fish, fresh & frozen veggies.  Are there any tips or suggestions for getting through these two weeks?  I'm 5'4 and weigh about 160.  My goal is to get to 125-130. 


She told be about the  SB peanut butter cups.  I haven't tried them yet as I trust her opinion and want a surpise "treat" for myself at the end of my first day.  :) 


I look forward to "chatting" with all of you during my journey!


Thanks!

Yes, you can use sugar-free jams or preserves in all phases.
