On Plan Thread May 5 -11
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? How's it going for you? Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu |

Roldgold831 Your menu looks good so far. If you find yourself feeling "flu-like" you may want to add dairy (either low fat milk or plain yogurt) to your menu, along with beans and legumes ... they are full of good carbs.
Welcome to the beach!!! |
Phase 1.5 (fruit, no grain)
Egg white omlette with green onion & tomato slices. V8 Raw veggies w/ spicy hummus Greek yogurt Diet Coke Veggie soup Chicken w/ mustard Brocolli Glass of skim milk Apple slices w/ pb |
Thanks for your help rivergirl! I appreciate it :)
And now for day 6 on the beach: We took my mom to NYC to see Avenue Q and we also took her to Guy Fieri's restaurant (this was hard, everything there is so good but so bad for you) - I was able to look at the menu before going to plan ahead and I did very well, plus we did a lot of walking in the city. Here's my menu for today: B: breakfast casserole w/ turkey, hot sauce S: mixed nuts L/Early dinner: 1 chicken wing (appetizer), chicken tortilla soup (this consisted of broth, chicken, avocado, and lots of veggies, NO crunchy tortilla strips!!!, then I had about 1/2 of a Cobb salad w/ lite ranch dressing (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, bacon, chicken)...to drink I had water. Then after dinner we walked 10 more blocks back to the train. I think I did excellent w/ what I had to work with. This was actually a huge accomplishment for me, usually I just give in and eat just what I want and try to use an excuse like "this is a special occasion so it's ok" but not this time... |
Phase 1, Day 2
Plan for the day: B - chicken salad (it always feels odd to me to eat "non breakfast" foods, but it was quick) S - nutbutter boats L - chicken Caesar salad (from Whole Foods); iced tea S - hummus with veg D - herbed salmon, baked mushrooms and asparagus, SF jello |
Happy Mother's Day all!!
B: breakfast casserole, hot sauce, 3 oz turkey S: nuts L: hamburger patty w/ mustard (this was soooo difficult!!! My fiance and I went to a Mother's Day gathering where the burger patty was LITERALLY the one and only thing I could eat) - but I did it!!! I so proud of myself for not breaking my diet!! S: celery w/ laughing cow D: 3 oz turkey, 1/2 avocado, tbsp lite ranch D: vanilla ricotta creme |
Welcome back Xan!
Roldgold great job not giving in to the goodies in NYC & at the Mother's day celebration!! |
