hi fellow south beachers..

this afternoon I ACCIDENTLY had a soy chicken patty but when I finished eating I thought "Wait.. that was really good .. was it breaded?" ahh it was I looked at the ingrediants it had wheat in it.

I am in phase one & am wondering if this will affect me a lot?

Ah yes, I remember doing the same when I did South Beach the first time about 3 years ago, thinking after I ate it that it wasn't a good idea .... It didn't affect me as far as I could tell. Hopefully you will have the same result.

But then again, things like that (a small amount of flour, maybe a teaspoon or two, mixed with protein and whatever else eaten at the same time) were not my problem. A flour tortilla or a piece of cake, however ... now THAT would set off a carb-fest!

Just keep truckin' and notice if you have any cravings. On P1 I didn't realize that SF puddings weren't ok until I was halfway through. Good eye!
