On Plan Thread: January 10-January 16 2011
It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.
Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so! This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily. People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks! While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum. So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week? |

amykitkat - what is p/b bread
|
OMG! I am so happy! Did my first weigh in after being on South Beach for one week (and NO CHEATING!) and I lost 6.5 pounds! This will give me the will power for not drinking wine for another week. And, it will help give my SO the incentive to help me stay on plan with cooking! The only downside is that we have at least 6 inches of snow here in Atlanta, and will be snowed in for a few days (this is the South). He will be having chili and tamales for lunch, I will be having tuna salad.
|
CONGRATULATIONS KITKAT! Staying on plan the first two weeks is the hardest. I did the plan three years ago, so I know that it is well worth it. But, after your body adjusts, it will be easier.

Hi Zeffryn -
Here is the recipe: not sure where I got it, I'm thinking Kayla's Kitchen... I also posted under Phase I Snacks P/B Bread: 1/2 cup egg whites 1/4 cup ground flax seeds 1/4 cup ground almonds 1/4 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute 1/2 cup natural p/b 1/4 cup ricotta cheese (I use plain ff yogurt) 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp baking soda Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 2. Melt p/b in microwave for 1 minute or until smooth 3. Mix all ingredients together 4. Pour into mini muffin cups and bake 15 minutes (I pour all of it into a bread pan and make a loaf) buskyandme: CONGRATS to you too!!!!! |
Mmckellen: How are you making your caesar dressing? Dressings seem to be my hardest part. I usually use a balsamic vinegar dressing with a touch of mustard, but balsamic has so much sugar in it, or, a number of homemade dressings. Any help from members re: dressings for salad would be most welcome!
That said... plan for today: B: Egg white omelet with mushrooms, canadian bacon, green onion, bell pepper SN: White part of a boiled egg with Chohula hot sauce L: Tuna Salad SN: Nuts D: Chicken Parmigiana, grilled asparagus, steamed cauliflower with garlic herb laughing cow |
I keep saying I'm going to make my own dressing, but I just keep going back to Ken's Tableside Caesar. There are 2g sugars per 2 tbsp. serving (2 tbsp. is 4 points) and malodextrine is on the ingredient list, but I love it and since I really don't eat any processed foods I'm going with it.
|
busyk - think outside the box for dressing. I like to use a tablespoon of hummus or a drizzle of dijon mustard and some balsamic vinegar.
|
Finally back to the beach after much christmas/new years/2nd christmas dinners.
PH 1.5-ish B- Yogurt, HB egg & tea S- Grapes and skim milk L- Turkey Kielbasa slices, cheese string, veggie sticks and tea S- Got really busy at work and missed it :( D- Chicken breast (cooked with lotsa garlic for flavour) green beans, broccoli & skim milk S- Pb stuffed celery |
weight when I got up : 183.5
B - few bites of leftovers L - few pieces of turkey w/ mayo & cup of milk S - a couple Everyone's Nuts pistachios S - a couple Everyone's Nuts pistachios D - Lean Cuisine - Sirloin Tips & broccoli S - finished up leftovers I started this morning D - lf fudgesicle w/ lf cool whip |
Doing well :mouse:
|
Tuesday, Day 9 of Phase 1 and counting points...22 days of strictly counting points to go.
B: 1 cup kefir, 1 hard boiled egg S: 1/2 cup roasted chick peas, TJ's roasted seaweed snacks (YUM only 1 pt.) L: 2 cups leftover turkey and cabbage casserole w 2/tbsp. parm cheese S: carrots and a slice of low fat provolone D: salmon pattie with green beans, 1 tbsp. pesto, 1 tbsp. evoo PP=28 GG - totally not my business, but is the Lean Cuisine Phase 1 or 2 compliant? I ask because I'm always looking for a quick meal to fall back on icoe. |
B: v8 and string cheese
S: apple L: ground beef and tomato sauce over steamed broccoli slaw, 2 SF almond butter cookies S: red pepper strips and hummus D: chili, salad, SF jello if I 'need' it. I'll have a milky beverage sometime this evening. Or maybe 2 if I can fit them in since I'm out of yogurt this morning. Exercise, I've got a thigh muscle that's still bothering me so I'm not sure if I'm ready for my wii fit strength routine again yet. I tried last night and almost cried. :( If it's too hard today I'll do wii walk it out again, and maybe some hooping. |
Phase 2
B. oats soaked in almond milk w/peaches, blueberries & cinnamon L. big veggie salad w/avocado, feta and roasted chickpeas, clementine S. Greek yogurt w/almonds D. vegetarian chili over shredded cabbage |
1: smoothie (chocolate protein, frozen berries, spinach)
2: lentil and vegetable stew, clementine 3: string cheese and, oops, pretzels (they are calling to me!) 4: grilled ginger chicken, spaghetti squash and spinach gratin exercise: 45 min. yoga, 45 min. treadmill |
Oooh...GG, I'd be very interested in the Lean Cuisine question posted by Mmckellen too. I haven't even looked at them in the store, just assumed....
As a musing...I wonder if any of the Kashi meals ready to eat might be Phase II compliant..... Okay, onto Day 9/Phase I B: Egg casserole w/p/b bread S: cheese sticks L: Leftover Hungarian Pot Roast S: h/b egg D: Red beans and rice, without the rice :dizzy: |
Re: Lean Cuisine
Assuming it was Steak Tips Portabello, it's not phase 1 friendly. Quote:
|
RE - Lean Cuisine and Kashi dinners. Read the ingredients label. I'm not too sure about the Lean Cuisine meals, but most, if not all, the Kashi frozen meals are SBD compliant.
|
phase 2
b - oatmeal with ground flax, teaspoon of peanut butter and almond milk l - out to lunch - a greek salad which probably had too much dressing and some skewers of beef s - omelette with some left over veggies s - cottage cheese and herb tea walked quite a bit today |
The kashi meals focus on whole foods...not so much for MOST of the lean cuisine, but you may be able to find something more whole food based in the Lean Cuisine Spa line.
|
Phase II
B: V8, 2 boiled eggs, veggie sausage S: RF cheese stick L: Deli turkey, carrots, hummus S: Skinny latte D: Salmon with pesto & roasted red peppers, roasted veggies with a little Parmesan S: Almond butter |

Ph 1.5 ish

Re: Lean Cuisine...I needed something in case of emergencies if I didn't make anything (or have leftovers before I have to go to my evening class) and the broccoli and steak tips had no pasta, etc and most of the ingredients looked kinda ok. What makes it non-compliant?
B - 2 boiled eggs w/ mayo and dijon mustard S - A couple of pistachios & 5 ultra thin healthy request turkey w/ mayo L - Healthy Request Steaming Entree (Garlic and Herb Shrimp) MINUS the pasta (the Shrimp & Okra Creole Gumbo that took me 1&1/2 hour to prep to put into crock pot to cook for a few hours wasn't ready when I had to hurry to school) S - A couple pistachios D - Shrimp and Okra Creole Gumbo D* - Fudgesicle |
NSV!! Today was day 7 of a very clean P1. There was a dish of Jelly Belly jelly beans (my favorite!!!!) being passed around at the nursing station. It made its way to me and I shed a tear as I passed it on, but I did not have a single one. I barely recognize myself! lol :)
|
So far so good
|
Too bad re: the Lean Cuisine. GG, maybe if you were already on Phase 3 you could look to those for an emergency, but you just won't get the same results from this plan unless you do a very clean Phase 1. It's only two weeks. Also, we are really supposed to include 4.5 cups of veggies each day. It's easy to make a meal on the go with those - celery and cut up peppers with hummos and a string cheese, etc.
Phase 1 Day 10 OMG - 4 days left of Phase 1 (Sunday is last day), 21 days left of strictly counting points, which should get me over the hump into Phase 2 B: 1 cup kefir, 1 hb egg S: 1/2 cup roasted chick peas L: huge salad with lean roast beef, 2 tbsp. parm cheese, 2 tbsp. Ken's Tableside Caesar S: chia fresca (bought new chia!!), carrots D: chicken and spinach curry PP: 29 |

rejoined WW. I had so much success combining WW with SB and I still need the portion control and snacking help - I don't know how to get my night time snacking under control. It seems like I could just eat a freakin' horse. It is pretty much once a month that I make some grand gesture to stop nighttime snacking...and then start again a few weeks later. blah to food addictions.
- 1: smoothie (1/2 banana, vanilla protein, nutmeg) 2: leftover spaghetti squash and spinach gratin 3: 2 teensy clementines 4: salad: romaine, grilled chicken, salsa for dressing, black olives, red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice exercise: 45 min. kickboxing class 25 points, 9 activity points |
So...update to yesterday, I did end up having about 2 cups of green beans along with the red bean sauce. (Kids and DH poured it over rice.) Also ended up having a snack w/green tea; about 4 crackers and a few cheat-o's (from the snacks thread).
P1/Day 10! B: Egg casserole slice w/pb bread S: String cheese L: Lentil soup (1.5 C?) with about 1/4 cup turkey sausage S: h/b egg D: Sausage and beans (from Kayla's kitchen) |
I have a feeling it's going to be a snacky kind of day for me. Thank goodness I have plenty of fresh veggies and hummus and other OP food in the house!
B. oats soaked in unsweetened almond milk w/peaches, blueberries & cinnamon S. Nessa Bar L. big veggie salad w/roasted chickpeas, feta - no dressing. Maybe a clementine or two S. if needed - baby carrots & celery w/hummus D. Creamy pesto (HungryGirl recipe) over either shirataki or spagetti squash |
Phase 1 Day 4
Doing good so far. I'm tired but the SB flu hasnt been too bad, just a headache on day 2. I have done P1 many times and I may not need the full 2 weeks. I will decide on Saturday if I need another week. B: Frittata (2 eggs, half cup grated zucchini and 1 wedge laughing cow) 1 C nonfat milk L: Split Pea Soup, green salad with 1T RF Blue Cheese dressing S: 15 almonds S: Red and yellow peppers, hummus D: White chile, green salad S: Greek yoghurt mixed with sugarfree jello |
phase 2
b - fibre one with almond milk l - veggie soup s - about 10 almonds s - oatmeal with flax and almond milk (went to a meeting and when I came home I didn't feel like cooking). But I passed all the lovely baked goodies with coffee. s - probably lf cheese no exercise today |
