Smile Hello, can I join?

Hello! I'm so happy to have found this group! I'm on day 4 of SBD and I'm doing ok. I really miss Cheetos and sandwhiches and chocolate! I'm not a big meat eater so it's a little tough for me. The worst time of the day for me is the afternoon. I have yet to find some great lunches to pack or some good afternoon snacks that don't involve eating a pile of deli turkey! I've made some pretty good dinners though so far so that really helps. I always have lots of questions about this so hopefully you'll be able to answer them! I have all 3 SBD books too. They are pretty good!

Welcome welcome welcome!!

I am sure you will find support and ideas here a plenty. Lunches are my biggest challenge also, but I find that now I am in the habit of planning ahead I am getting more creative.

Good luck and happy losing.

Welcome to the Beach! If you have access to a microwave at lunch, the Taco Bake is wonderful. I make it for dinner and then eat the leftovers for lunch. Check the recipe section under Entree - Phase 1. During Phase 1 I would eat it on a bed of lettuce. Check out some of the phase 1 soups too. They are great for lunch.

Welcome to The Beach. My only piece of advice is to keep it as simple as possible during Phase I with no deviations from the approved foods. It's only two weeks.

Hey Newbie! Good luck with everything! I'm on Week 2 of Phase 1, and I think I'm going to extend my Phase 1 another week or so. It's really not so bad, is it? Hope you succeed and if you have any questions, we're here to help!

Welcome!

There are tons of things to eat in the afternoons:
  • celery sticks with natural peanut butter, laughing cow light, or dipped in SBD friendly dressing
  • Part skim mozzarella string cheese
  • Red bell pepper strips dipped in hummus
  • 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with diced cucumber and/or tomato
  • 1/2 cup of plain lowfat yogurt with a bit of SF syrup and some ground flax seeds

Hope that helps!
