I am starting SB on Sunday. I was wondering if I am already doing an exercise program if it will affect it? I am doing a boot camp fitness program 4 or 5 days a week. I have been doing that for a month.

From what I have read, I don't think so, but I am new to this too. Your energy level does dive a little bit (I started today,) but if you feel okay to exercise you should be good

Abby - Canadian bacon is a lot like ham. I prefer it to turkey bacon because I don't like bacon.

ladyrider - If you are already exercising (or eating pretty healthy to begin with) then you might not lose as fast as some but this is still a healthy way to eat.

Oh ok. As you can see, you're not alone. Also know there are other breakfast options besides bacon and eggs. Check out some of the recipes here and on the internet in general. There are also a few South Beach Diet cookbooks available.

Wishing you the best of luck.

So after 2 weeks, I should go into this phase 1.5 for how long? Which 1.5 from my understanding is 2 servings of fruits/grains per day?? Right?

Actually in Phase 1.5 as we call it, you add one thing (fruit or grain) on a trial basis for a week, then another (fruit or grain)the following week, and so on. As you add new food items, watch for problems such as setting off cravings, etc. Sometimes you will tolerate an item at a certain time of the day better than another. If you add stuff in slowly, it seems to work better than all at once. Here's a link to a thread with lots of good info about Phase II.
