Hi I am new to 3FC. I started my phase one yesterday. I feel real good and motivated going into day three. I was wondering...because I really love beans. am I allowed to use cyanne pepper. because I also love really spicy things as well. but I can do without it. I don't weigh in until day 10 so I hope to see you all there...
Nikki- all the other alcohols are listed in the Good Carb Good Fats handbook as Very Rarely or Avoid. This is because they are made of distilled grains... Beer being the absolute worst of all of them.
Mixed drinks usually contain fruit juices which are also limited or "allowed" rarely.
Try to make the best choices possible..I'm sure one night of imbibbing will not ondo all your hard work.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Still cannot find the book anywhere! it is crazy.. but it looks like there is a lot of information here that will help me get started anyway!! Already had my eggs and spinach for breakfast!
WOO! I did my grocery shopping today! Only thing I never bought from the grocery store was ground turkey! DAMN its expensive. The chicken was even more expensive. For a tiny little package of it, it was $5.39. Yeeeeouch! I don't need it until next Sunday though so I will go and buy some on Saturday. I'm excited to get started!
So how will I feel on day 1, 2, 3, 4? Headache? Dizzy? Nauseated? Just to give me a heads up.
I'm new here and very glad to find this group! I started SB last Monday, so this is day 9 for me. I've lost 9 pounds! Truthfully, the first 3 days were really rough on me! I never thought I'd make it this far, but now I'm feeling very good. I am a huge knitter (love it, it's therapy for me), but I couldn't even knit the first 3 days! On day 4 I kinda felt like I'd come out of a fog. My husband is being a dear. He has promised me a manicure every week I stay on plan. Had my first one Sunday. I didn't even worry about messing it up at the Y knowing that I'd get another one on Sunday! Sugar free Jello has really been my friend as I miss fruit something terrible.
Well I went to the gym, went food shopping, and made taco bake last night... and I am down to what I weighed last week before I went to the Superbowl party and eating chips, beerbread and crab dip... among other munchies. So... that is good news. I am feeling healthy again!
It sounds like all of you are doing well so far. Remember to look at the 'FAQs' and the Meal Idea pages. There are a lot of good ideas and valuable information on here for everyone at all phases.
Hi everybody! My name is Andrea and my husband and I just started SBD yesterday. I have lurked around 3FC before on other boards but never been a regular poster. This time though I think I will be posting a lot because I will be needing a lot of support! You all sound like a great group and VERY supportive. Everyone keep up the great work and I will be talking to you all very soon!
I just started the SBD today actually! Had my very first breakfast. I made an omlette with 3 eggs, 1/8th green pepper, 4 mushrooms, and 2 turkey sausages squeezed out of their casing. I managed to eat 1/2 of the omlette before I was stuffed! I also drank 6 oz of V8 but that stuff tastes like crap! I had to plus my nose and chug it, then I had to do a water chase when I was finished. It must be an aquired taste.
Wow Look at all the Newbies! Babygrant , Shellyknits and Greenbay.
While Nikki felt energized by Phase 1, Shelly felt out of sorts.. ..Everybody is different! Most feel wonky, headachy, maybe lightheaded and foggy and have no energy. This will pass!
Babygrant, you and I must share the same taste buds lol.. I don't care for V8 I love tomato juice (lower sodium) a splash of lemon, salt and pepper..DELISH!!!
ISE702. Go right ahead and hot up those beans! I love them hot too! I think cayenne pepper is in the list of Phase I Foods. If not, it should be!

Thought I'd chime in...
