Tomorrow I start phase II of SBD. I am excited. Phase I wasnt as bad as I expected to b honest. Having the ablility to snack helped me out. I did eat a little more sugar-free jello and nuts at times tho. Is there a trick or secret to phase II, or should I just introduce foods w/ each meal? What has worked and what advise do I need? Thanx again for all the support!!!!!

My advice is to check out the Emergency Handbook for Phase 2 (under South Beach Frequently Asked Questions stickie.) It helps a LOT!

Definitely take it SLOW. And don't get discouraged. Everyone's bodies are different and will react differently, and it's not unusual to have your weight stall or even gain a little bit on Ph2 at first, until you figure out how your body is going to react.

You can totally do it!

Here's the link for the thread Weezle is referring to. Lots of great info!

I've been posting on this site for 5 years and still haven't figured out how to post links.
