Hello again; Shawnee here. I've had lots of problems staying on diet this year; personal turmoil with a parent on Alzheimer's. I not only failed to lose weight I GAINED weight. Very naughty.
I'm determined to get back in gear; I am confusing this diet with the dreaded Atkins diet. I know Atkins is not good for you - I didn't feel well on it. However, for some reason I found it easier to follow. I have the SBD book, but I keep looking to count carbs. On phase l you are allowed green beans - how much? I can't digest cabbage or lettuce - and I'm smart enough to know peas are a no-no.
Help a gal with hints on phase 1, pleassseeee!!!:

I'll start a Phase I thread shortly for questions like yours. In the meantime, forget counting carbs and don't limit quantities of good veggies like green beans.
Once again

Welcome Shawnee!

Thanks for the "beans'' info. When I go on a diet I tend to eat more as I feel deprived. Green beans are a fave of mine, vegg. wise - as is celery.
Once again, thanks for info thanks K. City for welcome!!

I forgot how to make weight charts: I can get there and pick one but I'm stuck after that. My entries look naked; Hawlp!!
