Morning plans derailed, not a complete disaster but not on plan (involved white flour tortillas)
Back on track, though - that's probably a first! Usually when I mess up, I just call it a loss and give myself permission to graze mindlessly for the rest of the day...
Looking like Phase 1 - [oh, except for the carrots]
L - giant salad with romaine lettuce and baby lettuce/arugula from the garden, red pepper, edamame, tomatoes and a tahini dressing
S - Tofurkey rolled around light cream cheese and green onions and sliced peppers
D- Salmon with cooked carrots & broccoli
dessert - nonfat Greek yogurt
Hey Everyone!
I'm new to South Beach and hope I'm doing it right. Those of you that have had success, can you please let me know if I'm eating the right things? Thank you!
B: 6oz V8, l/f cottage cheese with cinnamon and Splenda
S: l/f turkey slices with string cheese
L: Salad with walnuts and l/f dressing
S: cucumbers and garlic hummus
D: Baked chicken with baked stuffed tomatoes (mozzarella, parmesean, basil)
Dessert: S/F Jello
It has been interesting creating meals for myself... but I've discovered that preparing items early makes it a lot easier!
Thanks!

Reason: Forgot to add that I'm on Phase 1... Day 3
EmmaD,
I love the cream cheese mixed with gr. onions, rolled in ham (or turkey) ... its my new favourite for my lunch!
Welcom Sara81.... so far your menu looks fairly good, but you might want to some milk or yogurt in there (I believe now its 2 cups recommended daily) & also, I don't know the measurements for how large the veggie servings are, but make sure you are getting at least 4.5 cups daily (I really helps get the weight off!)
b - pumpernickel bread with slices of tomato and lf babybel
l - cottage cheese with cucumber and radishes
s - wheatberry salad with tomato, red onion, cucumber and feta cheese olives with greek dressing.
s - yogurt
HOLD UP! you can have slim fast shakes on phase 1?? i am sooo over eggs, i thought i LOVED them but that doesnt seem to be the case. im on day 10..and going strong. havent cheated(fingers crossed), and down 6lbs.
so i was just on the slim fast website, and i didnt see low sugar i did see low carb drinks...fat melanie is that what you were referring to?
Phase 1 today:
b- tbs pb(was running really late for work)
l- "rattatouille" red peppers, red onions, squash, mushrooms sauteed then simmered in lite ragu(with my own spices added) from last nites dinner, and a side salad with low sugar dressing.
s- black beans and salsa
s- 1/2 red pepper and lf mozz cheese
d- going to meet friends...wish me luck!
Sara81, your plan is looking good! Like Rivergirl said, might want some more dairy (milk or something) and veggies (something I can't preach about 'cause I need to do the same).
Snackiejackie, I must caution, I have never read anything about Slimfast on the SBD, and I am probably the first here to be using those once in awhile, as far as I've read. I know a lot of people here however make protein shakes and stuff like that. I was in Walmart and discovered the low carb Slimfast, checked out the ingredients, and noted the high mount of protein and it seemed like a good option on those days when things are hectic. I personally think the low-carb (I noted the label, and they are low sugar) Slimfasts are really good protein-packed options for snacks or days when you have so much to do, and might otherwise cheat. Others may disagree. Of course, the regular Slimfasts are a definite no-no! :-) I hope that helps some. And great job on the 6lbs!!!

jackie,
I don't know about the slimfast shakes - you'd have to check the ingredients, but I like to make the chocolate cheesecake smoothie for breakfast when I'm on phase I. There's a recipe posted here. Lots of times I have beans or dinner leftovers for breakfast. No need to eat eggs if you're tired of them.
The chocolate cheesecake smoothie sounds yummy.
************
Phase 1 (I noticed the flat out wraps were giving me cravings and making me hungry even though they were 100% whole wheat and sugar free, so I'm going to buy a bag of apples and have an apple a day for Phase 1.5. To be safe rather than sorry, I did a Phase 1 day today to kick the cravings.)
B- 2 eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon, in smart balance
S- almonds
L-
S- 2 slices RF provolone
D- Leftover Beef tomato-spinach stroganoff, a whole can of turnip greens, and lowfat cottage cheese. V8 juice also.
D- SF fudgesicle
I cannot remember for the life of me what I had for lunch, if anything! I don't know what is wrong with me today. I guess I just skipped it! Not good. Tomorrow I'm prescribing myself a HUGE romaine salad with garden veggies and green goddess dressing for lunch.
Those of you that have had success, can you please let me know if I'm eating the right things? Thank you!
