I want donuts, cookies, and cakes....

I've neen on the South Beach diet for 1 week now and have lost about 6 pounds...They say that after 2-3 days you don't crave the sweets anymore....well I've never craved sweets in my life....I always craved salty stuff like potato chips....but now 7 days later all I want is cookies, chocolate, cake, and donuts.... anyone else feel the same way. I have chips ahoy cookies in my cabinet that have been calling me all week...I wish DH would hurry up and eat them already before I do!

I can relate. Desserts are my weakness. I love ice cream, dounuts, and cakes. Usually I'm prerrt good with resisting the temptaion, but when I do treat myself, I find it hard to stop,- not to mention that I continue to want these foods for days to follow. Also, I wish I didn't feel so guilty after eating these things, but I just can't help it.

Hi! We're starting South Beach tomorrow (we were supposed to start today but had to do some grocery shopping). It's really encouraging to hear that you've done so well in only the first week. I hear you about the sweets though. Walking by those cupcakes in the grocery store was pretty hard, especially the mini ones because they don't look too 'dangerous.'

you can have some sweets if you are really craving them..you can have the ricotta dessert..once you get used to it, its not that bad, and i think you can have sugar free jello! why not make yourself an iced coffee or something!

I think the ricotta thing is gross....I've tried it a couple of times and it just doesn't do it for me. I've also been eating the Jello and Sugar free popsicles and fudgicles which are allowed (75 calories per day). Those hold me over a little bit.
