Zeff, I would think the calorie limit you decided on is more than adequate with nursing. We usually tell moms not to go under 2000/day with nursing. I also would include at least 2 grains if not 3 and at least 1 fruit a day. So many good nutrients in both. It's not uncommon for babies to have a problem with mom's intake of dairy, but sometimes cheese is better tolerated. It's really important for you to get at least 1500 mg. calcium daily so as not to deplete your bone density. Are you taking a calcium supplement if you are cutting back on milk? Cheese does not have the Vitamin D that milk has, so that might be something you want to supplement also.

Murph, I was hoping that you would see this post and respond. You are always such a big help with topics like these.
What you described sounds much like what I had in mind. DS1 tolerated when I ate cheese and yogurt but not when I drank milk...it seems like DS2 is going to be the same way. I already supplement Vit. D, and will supplement calcium when/if I decide to cut milk.
I learned the hard way with DS1 the importance of getting adequate calories and water. I've already been logging my food intake on fitday (have I mentioned how neurotic I can be? ) and I'm around 1200 cals so far today with 64 oz. of water down so far.

I drank tons of soymilk while breastfeeding, and it didn't seem to affect my son at all. maybe try that instead of regular milk. its fortified with calcium and vitamin d.

Remember, Chickies, that South Beach Diet is a good carb diet, NOT a low carb diet. Beans are highly encouraged in Phase 1, which contain good carbs and will help prevent your body from going into ketosis.

Ok I get it now! Yes I understand it is about good carbs and picking the right ones and than gradually adding in other healthier ones. I am glad that I can use my protien powder as well. I was concerned with that and I guess I am slow for some reason and was thinking you may have been telling me not to use it. I do get my good carbs in as well. I just really do not like eggs and this protein powder seems to work for me in the morning.
Day 2 is going great! I am so afraid of the sb flu though in the next couple of days. Tom I do not work so I will be fine but Tues I do and I hope I can swing it for the day. I love the fact that I am 2 days down and on my way.
I made the chick pea roasted treat. It was ok. I think I need to add more spices next time. But it did feel the void. Many good ideas on this site. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone. I'm Diane and I started phase 1 yesterday. So far I'm doing pretty good, but I have had a headache all day long. I have a sinus cold so I'm not sure if it's that or lack of sugar or both. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

I may have missed someone else answering this question but this would definitely be a no on Phase 1 and even on Phase 2 IMO with fructose listed as the second ingredient. Fructose is just another name for sugar, slightly different form than sucrose but still sugar. I'm not the expert though - perhaps others have a different take on this?

I'm restarting Phase I tomorrow. I had good luck with SBD in the fall, when I managed to do the full two weeks of Phase I--and then Phase II and a huge disappointment over another matter derailed me. Boo hoo, woe is me, what's over is over and I didn't resolve anything by gaining these extra 10 pounds. So I picked up all my stuff this weekend, and tomorrow it's back on Phase I for me. I'm really happy to see so many newbies and returning folks, and the success you're reporting is sooooo encouraging!

I'm starting Day 4 today. I can't believe it, but I made it through the weekend. We will be going out of town for the weekend in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions for snacks to take on the road? Also any suggestions for stopping at a convenience store. I was alittle hungry while we were out yesterday but the only thing I could think of to get was a V8.
I was also looking through the dining out guide and noticed that Hardee's wasn't listed in htere. Is there anything you can get from there to eat?

Welcome back, donnaval!
HeatherMcG, I hope the bacon you had for breakfast was turkey bacon, as regular bacon is not SBD-friendly. Also, your menu doesn't look as if you've had enough veggies for the day. You should be having at least 4 1/2 cups a day, and don't go overboard on the peanuts. I mean this to be helpful, not critical, and hope you have great success with your weight loss.
Karen, It's helpful to keep a cooler in the car, and fill it with cheese sticks, raw veggies, hummus, NF yogurt, nuts, FF turkey and cheese rolled up in lettuce, SF jello. You will also find a few threads stickied in our FAQ section that will have some suggestions for you. As far as Hardee's goes, just google them to check out their menu. Usually, if you select a plain chicken breast and a veggie salad, you should be OK. Make sure your salad dressing doesn't have more than 3 grams of sugar, though. You may find it easier to take along your own favorite approved dressing. Have a safe trip!

morning all this is day 5 for me and i'm finding the only thing i've noticed is i have headaches from caffeine withdrawal...i usually just drink a cup of black coffee and it goes away. but also noticing i don't really get hungry except for breakfast and actually drinking a glass of water first thing helps that.
