Hi - I have just read the SBD book and plan to start tomorrow. I thought it might be helpful for new folks to post menus while we are all getting used to the food on this plan. I know I would love some feedback.
Are there any other newbies who would like to post their menus?
We used to always have a food log. Not only is it good for Newbies but it also gives everyone else different menu ideas. Good idea. This is what I had/will be having today
B: coffee, V8, hard boiled egg
S: string cheese
L: seafood salad, diet pepsi
S: Almonds
D: 2 Veggie Sausage & Cauliflower
and water, water, water
no thats not my usual I have been a very bad girl... and I am trying to get my act together again. I usually try for about 1200 calories. Thanks for asking though.
By the sounds of what you guys all eat, I must be eating WAY too much!! A typical day for me goes like this (mind you, this is my sixth day on the SBD and I really like it, however, if I'm doing this all wrong, ya gotta tell me!!)
Okay:
Breakfast: 2-3 eggs (hardboiled or scrambled) with 2 slices canadian bacon or two slices turkey bacon, maybe two slices tomato, too (It's really good on the eggs) and a slice of reduced fat cheese.
Snack: String cheese or jello, or both.
Lunch: Big salad (with good salad dressing - oil and vinegar) with either turkey or cheese rolled up, egg salad (usually two to three eggs) with low-fat mayo or tuna (packed in water)
Snack: Hardboiled egg (Obviously I'm eating alot of eggs)
Dinner: Alot of a vegetable, when I say alot I mean like 1 1/2 cups (is that too much?) with I can't believe it's not butter spray and then some protein, steak, turkey, chicken, whatever
Dessert: Ricotta Mousse (love that!)
Periodically through the day, I may have a teaspoon or two (sometimes even three) of natural low-fat peanut butter.
Compared to what y'all have said, I must be really over eating!! Please tell me if I am!!
I eat a lot like that to and I am losing weight. As time has marched on I have slowly cut back on my food intake because I really don't need as much and I get fuller faster.
It's best not to gorge yourself but if you are hungry-eat! That's the beauty of this plan.
