It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.
Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!
This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.
People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!
While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.
So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?
How's it going for you?
Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu...
Phase 1 I think
B - coffee with us almond milk. Matcha green tea with almond milk.
running/C25K
Cheesecake smoothie with spinach - sounds WEIRD but it's good
L - Weekend glow kale salad, but apparently without tomatoes since I'm out
S - Bell pepper and broccoli with hummus
D - "Zoodles" with marinara sauces and veggie meatballs. Cucumber salad.
dessert - Greek yogurt

Reason: update
And thanks for being one of the only others posting menus here, Lindsay! (remember a few years ago when lots were posting? I got SO MANY ideas from those posts)
Phase 1.5 - blueberries and possibly some carrot/beet, no grains
B - coffee with us almond milk. Leftover cheesecake smoothie from yesterday - it was huge.
L - Spinach salad with boiled egg. Matcha green tea latte with us almond milk. Roasted chickpeas - Danger, Danger - luckily I left them to cool in the oven last night and they are crunchier than corn nuts and that makes it harder to eat them quickly)
S - peppers/broccoli with hummus (I have like 4 servings I think... 1/2 a cup...280 calories... but I don't care. I eat so many more veggies this way).
D - Same as last night - Zoodles with marinara sauce and veggie meatballs, cucumber salad.
Dessert - Greek yogurt with some walnuts and wild blueberries
POSSIBLY: a veggie whole juice in there. I've been experimenting with making my own fresh whole juice (in other words, just blended to a puree) V8.
EXERCISE: OMG hopefully finally going to yoga again...
Here's my snacky, weird start to the day... nothing technically OFF plan but carbier than I like and precious little veggies in the first half of the day.
B/L -
coffee with us almond milk.
Refried beans with salsa and hot sauce mixed in. With a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Two veggie hotdogs (don't ask...)
POPCORN! 3 cups (~2 Tablespoons organic kernels), popped in a spritz of olive oil. I saw it on the Phase 2 approved list yesterday and I couldn't get it out of my mind.
Homemade Greek yogurt fudge pop. Yep, I made them. Yep, they were hard as a rock (but tasty). I found another recipe to try.
Matcha green tea latte with us almond milk
S - Hummus with bell pepper and broccoli
D -OK FINALLY the dinner that has been on my plan all week: Zucchini/veggie meatballs/marinara sauce. Maybe a salad.
dessert - another yogurt fudge pop (they are small - 1/4 cup yogurt)
