Emergency Handbook Guide for Phase One

  • With all the chicks and roosters starting Phase I and joining us each week, I thought it would be a good idea to create a guide to ease the planning and “Phase Outs” of Phase One. This list is for the newbies to the site who haven’t yet discovered how to navigate.

    Stocking Up Your Kitchen

    The journey of reaching your weight-loss goals starts in the kitchen. Taking stock of the foods that you will be cooking and eating as you follow the South Beach Diet is a good way to improve your results. This means removing certain foods altogether. To help you get started (or to serve as a reminder), we’ve created this checklist of foods that should be eliminated for Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. Most of these foods can be reintroduced two weeks later, once you enter Phase 2. Learn how to create a healthy kitchen with this easy Phase 1 cheat sheet:

    Foods to Avoid in Phase 1

    Baked goods: Breads (even those made with whole-wheat flour), cakes, cookies, crackers, cupcakes, muffins, pastries, and waffles
