South Beach - phase one edamame

  • Hi

    I love edamame, has anyone found that eating this too often on phase one has slowed weight loss?

    Thanks
  • As long as your are keeping your calories below 3500, and as long as the edamame isn't salted, I think eating a reasonable portion of them won't slow your weightloss. But if they're salted, the salt will cause you to bloat and retain water.

    Keep in mind that even if something is good for you, you still should practice portion control.
  • Is the 3500 cals a typo? I feel myself gaining just thinking about 3500

    No typo...what she means is that it takes 3500 calories to gain 1 pound.
  • That is exactly what I meant.
