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 food plan!
Hi everyone! I'm on day 1 of Phase 1. I spent a lot of time Sunday and Monday prepping food for the week. I have tomato soup, meat loaf, and quiche cups in the freezer! I don't really have time to cook during the week. I was totally overwhelmed trying to do my meals plans and shopping for the week. So, I tried to keep it simple, But, I'm excited to try more recipes.
Do you have any suggestions for yogurt in Phase 1. I see it is allowed as long as it is plain or artificially sweetened. If you use plain, do you add something to it to give it some flavor? If you use artificially sweetened, what brand do you like?

L- tuna, green salad
S- smoothie
