Hi:

A friend of mine bought me the new SB book. I read it last week and have come here to learn more. I have noticed several things in these posts that have raised questions.

1) Is ALL whole wheat bread "legal"?
2) Is there a guide for eating out? (Arby's; Subway; Wendy's)
3) How do you know what snacks are legal?
4) Some have mentioned measuring and portions of certain items, is there a set guide?

I have more but I will leave these for now,
TIA
John

JohnO,

answered this on the other forum you posted too, however, just in case you didn't see it over there

1) Look for stone ground whole wheat.
2) Just try to stick to the SB guidelines in general even when eating out.
3) Ingredient, ingredients, ingredients. SB is all about trying to stay away from the "bad" carbs and sugars. This means you will be reading lots of labels on food to see if it is ok (legal).
4) According to the book you don't really need to measure portions, don't go for seconds and don't have a normal size plate overflowing. Many mention 2-3 starchy carbs / day.

Hope that helps a little enjoy this great new healthy way of eating!
