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 food plan!
I really floundered last week...I think I need to go back to my other plan, which is Phase 1.5 during the week with 1-2 fast days (500 calories or under) and 2 off plan meals.
Sunday Phase 1.5 - actual
B: Kefir/almonds/2.5 slices bacon
L: salad with 2 organic, grass fed hot dogs, goddess dressing
S: appetizer (off plan) and wine
D: ground beef stew with mushrooms and onions
I am starting my second week of phase 1 today! I will be honest, the hardest part about this phase is not being a big meat/seafood eater. I'm powering on though and keeping my head up (well sometimes down when I'm on the treadmill because I'm a little clumsy on that thing).
B: 2 scrambled eggs w/ lf cheddar and turkey bacon
L: kale salad w/ onions and tomatoes
S: lf cheese stick
D: cream of chicken and broccoli soup
Monday plan:
B: smoothie with kefir, blueberries, chia seeds. A handful of almonds
L: mozzarella/tomato/pesto salad, large green salad with evoo/lemon juice, lemon pepper grilled chicken, nf greek yogurt
D: refried beans with salsa and cheese, guacamole.
Didn't get a chance to post this weekend but, aside from probable a few too many nuts, we did really well in NY this weekend and stayed totally Ph1!!! I didn't even have a celebratory drink
Ph1D10
B: V8, cashews, turkey pepperoni
L: Whole Foods Salad - beans, olives, peppers, carrots, celery, tomatoes, cabbage, feta
S: hummus and pepper strips
D: chili with cheese and sour cream
D: NSA fudge pop
Monday
B: 2 hard boiled eggs and V8
L: leftover chicken/broccoli soup (still delicious!)
S: 15 almonds
D: not even sure yet...probably going with chicken, salsa, and ff refried beans but we'll see (maybe someone will cook for me tonight!)
B - Cheese sticks and nuts
L - Leftover Deep Dish Italian Pie
S - Jicama and salsa
D - Taco Bake over lettuce
S - Kalyn's Peanut Butter Pie - DH will also have an apple
Doing really well on eating but I need to up my exercise. My weight loss is not going as quickly as I'd like. DH is doing awesome so he's moving toward 1.5 this week. He will be having one item from Phase 2 each day. I'm really happy for him but sure wish I had that guy metabolism!!
BTW...I didn't get to post last night but I made the Asparagus Soup from the SBD Quick & Easy Cookbook and it was amazing!! I think next time I'm going to add some chopped up canadian bacon to make a more filling meal.
Phase 1 - day 5
Learned this morning its a bad idea to go on scale every morning. Maybe it was the whole batch of chickpeas I roasted yesterday that I ate. Yikes! Drinking lots more water today.
B- nf yogurt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, almond slivers, coffee
S- 2 hard boiled eggs
L- spinach salad, balsamic vinegar dressing, leftover steak from last night, string cheese
S-steamed broccoli with garlic powder and smart balance (so yummy it shouldn't be cause is broccoli)

s- fudgesicle
120 Oz water
