On Plan Thread (South Beach Diet) June 30 - July 6
It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.
Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!
This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.
People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!
While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.
So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?
How's it going for you?
Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu...
I have to get SERIOUS about sticking to my plan. The last half of June just fell apart. I either planned but didn't stick to the plan - or didn't plan at all.
Phase 1 or 1.5 (depending on whether I make the Greek yogurt popsicles with berries or not)
[ETA: what was actually consumed]
B - Protein smoothie with spinach/maca/matcha/flaxseed oil/mint √
L - Zucchini noodles with marinara/veggie meatballs √ S - Hummus with raw veggies (bell pepper/broccoli). [Actual: ] D - Maybe tuna salad in Romaine lettuce boats. Or just a big green salad. [Actual: small baked potato with Greek yogurt, which is possibly acceptable in Phase 3] dessert - Greek yogurt popsicles [Actual: ]
B: mushroom, greens and feta cass
L: roasted veggie and feta salad, few slice deli roast beef
D: Grilled chicken, asparagus, Cauliflower/cabb/onion mash
D: fruit of choice
I have gotten better about posting my plan but still have trouble sticking to it. (Way too many issues to go into on an on plan thread....) I keep trying though! Sometimes things mysteriously click and and I can cruise along - until the next derailment. I suspect I have huge carb issues and should PROBABLY do a full Phase 1 for two weeks to see if that helps. ugh
Phase 2 (I hope, dinner will be out)
B - protein smoothie with spinach/maca/mate/flaxseed oil/mint (same as yesterday as it was very refreshing with the mint).
L - Veggie burger on Romaine lettuce leaves
S- Veggies with hummus.
D/dessert - OUT. I will aim for a salad or grilled fish with veggies [FAIL!] and ONE glass of wine [SUCCESS!] and no dessert [FAIL!]
Exercise: Will try to walk a lot in the afternoon [SUCCESS]
Yesterday... not tooo bad but I gained 1.4 lbs. Funny how that happens. Phase 3+
B - coffee with us almond milk
L - Roasted veggie sandwich on whole wheat bread, beet/butternut squash salad with goat cheese. us iced tea.
S- some raw almonds, less than 1 serving
D - Fish tacos, some stuff of the fried, alcoholic and chocoholic variety (but not 1.4 lbs worth)
TODAY Phase 1
B - coffee with us almond milk. My (recent) usual protein smoothie with spinach/matcha/maca/flaxseed oil/fresh mint
L - My other usual (TOO MUCH ZUCCHINI): zucchini noodles with marinara sauce and veggie meatballs.
S - broccoli with hummus - need peppers!. Boiled egg. 1/2 serving almonds.
D - Grilled scallops with cauliflower rice, green salad
dessert - Greek yogurt?
TOMORROW:
How to stay on plan at 4th of July BBQs? hmmmm will have to bring everything for myself
I'm with ya EmmaD, at least the picnic is at my house!
I lied about last night - (well, not really, DH changed the plan) the rest of the family ate pizza, I had leftover steak and veggies. I stole the topping off part of one piece, and it wasn't even good. I was proud for not straying, too often lately I have!
