Default On-Plan Thread September 15-21

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.

B: ratatouille with chick peas, italian sausage, parmesan cheese
L: cheeseburger over lettuce with pickles, no bun
S: cafe au lait
D: greek salad, no tomatoes (at class)
S: small piece of cheese

A little too much fat today. I was just ravenous and felt like I should eat a lot of meat b/c of AF 'visiting' so often.

Default Phase 1, mostly

I am just re-starting South Beach since I had great results many years ago. I recently lost most of my weight on a low carb diet but I feel that I need a change after a year of that. Then, I remembered South Beach and it has been a breath of fresh air (so to speak). I just started a few days ago and basically, I am just trying to maintain for a while but if I lose some more weight I'll be more than happy!
SO glad to be back!

Yesterday's Menu was:

B: 2 eggs - 2 slices turkey bacon - 1 t. coconut oil
L: Taco Salad (ff refried beans-3 oz. gr. beef w/taco seasonings-lettuce/cabbage salad-salsa)
S: Weight Watchers Jalapeno String Cheese stick
D: Bowl of Butter Lettuce leaves, 5 oz. gr. beef w/taco seasonings, diced onion, salsa - steamed green beans w/coconut oil 1 t.
S: Weight Watcher Fudge bar & 1 deviled egg

Hello all I am 100% new to the SB way of life Lost about 50 lbs 10 years ago doing WW but just cannot get back into that, so starting fresh. (my hubby and I both actually). So here's hoping we can hang with this lifestyle change.

B: Breakfast shake I found on "breakfast ideas phase 1" on this board, so yummy
S: String Cheese Stick
L: Grilled Chicken w/1 wedge cheese, steamed veggies
S: Handful of cherry tomatoes
D: Grilled Salmon with Middle Eastern Salad (from kalynskitchen) Im adding chickpeas to pump it up a little
S: Sugar Free pudding

This is quite a test for me because I am a pasta/rice lover AND a very enthusiastic wine drinker Fingers crossed!

I'm new to South Beach as well. Only my 4th day in today and already down 3 lbs. Loving that I can have Greek Yogurt/Nuts/Avocado. Some of my favourite foods.

I have a question though. Do you go into Ketosis when you're on South Beach?

The Ideal Protein people don't want me talking about South Beach on their threads, so hopefully you guys don't mind me being here lol.

Just wanting to know if a person goes into ketosis on South Beach?
