I am going to start this tomorrow. I just went food shopping for everything that I will need for the next 2 weeks. Did you follow the menus daily or did you modify it at all?

I am on it right now, and I love it. He really isn't lying when he says that you will lose the urge to eat cards after a couple of days. I went to my mother's house the other night and she made lasagne, and I thought for sure I was not going to make it out of that house without having a little. Amazingly I had no urge it was weird, cause I love my mother's lasagne. I am only in day 6 but I LOVEEEE this diet. Just had to share. I posted about this on the BHB board I had no idea there was another thread.

I am still in phase 1-if you have a bad carb, do you need to start all over? and my sweets craving is definitley NOT gone!!!!! all i want is a chocolate cookie!!!!

No, it won't make you gain back all your weight if you have 1 cookie. BUT having that one sweet carby thing will make you crave it more.

Have ricotta cheese mixed with cocoa powder (not chocolate powered mix - has to be just cocoa powder, nothing else mixed in with it. Can find it in baking aisle I think in foodmarket). Or a few drops of vanilla or almond extract (I buy the Badia brand, no sugar just extract and alcohol) and a packet of sweet & low. That's my 'sweet' for the day. I had it at breakfast.

I made EZ PB cookies...to deal with night cravings

1 cup PB
1 cup splenda
1 egg

I can't remember but something like 350 for 20 min...

they would help satisfy my cravings at night...

also the land o lakes non fat creamer was great for coffee...and its on the list

The PB didn't melt into a gooey mess? Or did you put them into foil cups?

Re: Who is on the South Beach Diet?

My question is what are we allowed to drink besides water. Everything else has sugar in it?

Re: Who is on the South Beach Diet?

decaf tea, or maybe water with lemon.

i do drink fat free milk occasionally, even though he says no dairy.

I am on my 12 day and it is fabulous. I have lost eight lbs and counting. I love this thing. I am not going to re-introduce the carbs full blown until I have started a exercise regiment. I am going to qork out 4 nights a week at my school. I cheated yesterday and had a bagel, only cause FH 4got to bring me a salad but I am not stressed about it.

Re: Who is on the South Beach Diet?

I just started on Tuesday. It takes a little more preparation than I'm used to, but it will be worth it in the end! I wasn't able to step on a scale until just now, so I don't know if I've lost anything yet, but I feel a little better! Let's see how it goes from here! :o)
