SnackieJackie, oh Phase 2, skipping snacks should be a no biggie; I would think if you don't feel hungry, then no need to snack. But for a pick-me-up between meals, healthy snacks are great. As long as you're eating regular meals and whatnot and getting a full balance of SBD allowed foods in, there should be no reason why you couldn't skip a snack if you truly don't feel hungry. Since you feel full, your body is telling you you don't need it because you're not hungry so no need to force down some extra calories. Yum, brussel sprouts! I need to get some. They're so substantial and filling, even my son likes 'em!

I was at the college all day long for registration... thankfully before I left I fueled up on a turkey/swiss/lettuce/mayo whole wheat wrap sandwich. It really get me sated for quite awhile. I did start getting hungry though and I looked at their snack machine. Not a pack of nuts to be found, only junk so I got diet pepsi from an adjacent machine and walked away.

They were giving away tons of free pizza from our local delicious pizzeria (italian NY style), to feed us since we had to wait so long, and I managed to resist it with no trouble. (And I LOOOVE NY pizza!) Yay!! Came home and ate the remains of the Pork Shrimp crack slaw.

B- Turkey/swiss/lettuce/mayo on whole wheat wrap
L- skipped and should have packed something, but did resist the college's free food
D- leftover plate of pork shrimp crack slaw, a few rosemary/olive oil triscuits.

Thinking about cracking open an easy can of greens, with a little vinegar. Gonna have some yogurt and peanutbutter afterwards. Tomorrow will be a more balanced day.

****Edit: Sorry about the double posting guys, I posted about 5 hours ago the first time and this time around I didn't check or notice, I apologize for that.

I thought yogurt was a food to avoid in phase 1. Am I wrong? I sure would like to include yogurt during these 2 weeks.

Check out the updated food list for phase 1. Dairy is allowed and encouraged in Phase 1.

"MILK/DAIRY
Except for half and half, 2 cups allowed daily, including nonfat yogurt or lowfat plain yogurt
Greek Yogurt nonfat
Low-fat milk (fat-free and 1%)
Fat-free 1/2 & 1/2 (2 tablespoons)
Low-fat plain, vanilla, or artificially sweetened soy milk (4 grams of fat or less per 8 ounce serving). Be sure the product does not contain high fructose corn syrup
1% or fat-free buttermilk
yogurt low fat or nonfat plain"

Do you have an old version of the book? Dr. A has updated some of the foods since the first addition.

This is my third day on sb phase 1 and I'm doing ok. I struggle with the soda cravings mainly because it's hot outside and I want something carbonated and cold. I'm going to get some Perrie or something like that to hit the spot. Any suggestions? I don't like diet drinks too much.

Yesterday was a really good day"
B-Veggie omelet w/ 2 eggs
L-salad w/ veggies and chicken breast
D-chili beans w fat free cheese

Today I didn't feel like another omelet
B- Pork chop with spegetti squash
S- Trio Nut bar (Oops did have cane sugar
L- Chicken Breast w lettuce leaves
D- fish and veggies

Thank you CyndiM for the insight. I'll have to get the newest edition. Also thanks for the warm welcome. By the way, I checked out your pics. Congratulations. Your doing awesome.

I think those bars have fruit in them too, a no-no for Phase I.

Hi Chicks,

it is my day two of being back on the plan, I went to gym yesterday and felt heavy and flabby, weighted myself and i was a pound or so more. I need to face my consequences but I am happy that i am back on plan a bit quicker than before. Previously, it used to take me at least a month of binging to feel like i have had enough. Now I know I have had enough over the past week and i am back on eggs for breakfast and chilli con carne. I do eat a bit of fruit and bread, I am trying to add it back to my diet even if that means i stop losing because i am going on holiday in 3 weeks and i need to be eating everything by then, otherwise i set myself for another up the scale.

Good luck all!

Thursday, a Phase 1 day
B: yogurt with flax seeds, 6 green olives
S: chia fresca, 15 almonds
L: fresh turkey on lettuce with canola mayo
S: hummos with a red pepper and yellow pepper

Another day of Phase 1 done, and another one starting :-)

Yesterday's meals:

Can you tell I ate dinner really late because I got home late? I'm still trying to get the move to the new place done...before tomorrow!!! Might have to take the afternoon off today to get things finished up. I can't WAIT until I get that done so I can get back to the gym after work, but with all of the cleaning and moving I figure at least I'm still being active

Hi Museumchick-

make sure you aim for the daily 4.5 cups of veggies. That might help with other things and it will definitely help you stay full
