hi there,

i just started sb on tuesday, and am anxious to hear any tips or advice you might give to someone like me! i think that i have the old copy of the book, because it makes no mention of dairy in phase 1, and am finding it a bit rigid. does anyone have any general tips to help out a new girl on sb?

i am lucky enough to live in nyc, and dr. agatston will be giving a lecture next week on sb and heart disease. already bought my ticket!

also, the forums look like a great place to meet new friends and trade ideas and support. looking forward to chatting with you!

Welcome to the Beach! Take a look at the food lists in the FAQ section. The updated food lists are there as well as a lot of helpful information.

We have a daily weekday thread here and then a weekend thread. There is also one for those on phase 1 but many post in the daily.

Hi McChickgirl,
Welcome to the beach! I hope you'll love it here as much as I do. It would be so cool to hear Dr. Agatston speak!
The book has not been updated, but you can find updated food lists for Ph1 and Ph2 here. Also, lots of valuable experience from the chicks. The best piece of advice I got here was to ease into Ph2 slowly, adding just one fruit or grain/day for a few days before adding something else. Check out the FAQ sticky and if you have any questions that aren't answered there, just ask. The chicks here know everything there is to know about SBD!
