Please tell me what you are eating? Share a sample days menu please! I'm trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong because even though I am losing weight, my weight fluctuates ALOT during a one week period and it just doesn't seem right to me. I'm also getting a little tired of the same thing everyday.
This a sample days eating for me
1 cup coffee w/equal & half&half 1 hard boiled egg
1/2lb of Tuna Salad
Grilled chicken and tossed salad for dinner w/Italian dressing
1 sugar free jello w/whip
Thanks!

Re: Low carb dieters - what are you eating?
I am doing South Beach and am in Phase One so I am not eating any carbs yet. As of now I have a couple of eggs for breakfast with some veggies thrown in. A huge salad for lunch with a little turkey or tuna and a salad for dinner with some fish or chicken or turkey. Lot's of salad. I also keep some of those Part Skim String Cheese things at work and have a couple during the day. At nite I have a sugar free popsicle or two. My weight is fluctuating too, but I think it's a water/salt thing. I think if you have to much salt you will retain a few pounds for a couple of days. Then your weight drops back down. I am trying not to weigh myself every day cuz it's very frustrating. I haven't been very successful at that either though. I have to keep checking my weight, I am obsessed.

Re: Low carb dieters - what are you eating?
I am south beaching it, and we make ALOT of different vegiies for dinner...makes it seem like you are not being deprived.
Last night I made the yummiest...sauteed fresh spinach in garlic and olive oil. Once it was cooked, I threw some fresh lemon juice in the pan with 2 heaping tablespoons of parmesian cheese. YUM. I could have eaten just that.
Grilled up a few minute steaks after marinating in soy/garlic/ginger.
Bolied corn on the cob with salt and butta. and served it all with a big salad!
We feasted!
I must say I am really tired of eggs for b-fast. can't wait for phase two to have some wheat toast and PB!!
