I'm starting SBD, but I have no money to purchase the book. I visited there website, but they won't go into detail on what are acceptable foods and how much of them you can eat unless you pay $29.99 ( I don't have a credit card). So can anyone give me the basic rules for phase one including foods, portions, etc.

Please check out the Frequently Asked Questions section of this forum. All the allowable foods are posted there.

Hey Sammy I bought my book at Sam's for 14.28 so I'm sure Wal-Mart would have it for about the same price if your not a club member. So maybe when you get the extra funds you can pick you up one. All the info in the book just about is somewhere on this site but I just like having the book as well. Good luck and stay in it.

Yes, I agree that the book is important to have. It really does explain a lot about the diet that you might not understand otherwise. Buying the book when you are able to will be very helpful!
