Any South Beachers out there?

I am on day 11 and so far have lost 8lbs :) I'm soo excited!!! Just looking to see if anyone else is following this diet.

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

thats awesome ....what are you eating??

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I'm eating all lean proteins and veggies and lowfat dairy. No sugar or starches. It's very simple to follow and an easy diet to eat out on :)

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I tried my own version a couple months ago and within the first week I lost like like 6 pounds
i did the same thing

the only thing is that i love fruit not so much the veggies

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I don't follow South Beach but I do follow a low carb (Atkins) Good Luck to you! 8 Pounds is great

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I love SB Phase 1. I stayed on it for quite some time. I want to do it again actually but find breakfast is a hard one to follow :(

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I'm on SB. I love it!

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

My husband did it and lost a LOT on phase I.
What I like about it is that it doesn't totally restrict your carbs once you are done with phase 1.
He was able to add "good" carbs in after the first phase...

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I'm doing Phase 1 right now... the only thing I'm really missing is fruit. And yes, breakfast is a tough one... esp for work. I just bring one of those little cups of cottage cheese every day. Can't even eat flavored yogurt. Weekends are easier... at least I can make eggs.

Just finished the first week and I'm down a few lbs. I do Phase 1 every few months or so, when I start to feel fat.

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

what kinds of foods do u eat?
I eat turkey bacon,egg whites
chicken and asparagus
salad cucumbers celery

i need more meal ideas anyone wanna share?

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I started today. I'm going to pretty much follow what the green book says to do as the plan daily, except if I don't like what they are suggesting. Then I'm using the Quick and Easy South Beach Recipe book to substitute in.

Tonight I'm having salmon, aspargus and a salad. For breakfast I either have the quiche cups (I make a whole bunch, freeze them and then when I'm on the run to work I bring them and reheat them in the microwave) or these turkey stacks that are in the cook book.

I definitely like the cook book b/c the recipes truly are quick and easy and diversified. Baked chicken, turkey and eggs can get really boring really fast.

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

I start tomorrow morning but was on it once before and dropped a lot of weight.

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

So..I completed 2 weeks on Phase 1 and lost a total of 12 pounds!!!!!

I'm soooo excited!!!!

Re: Any South Beachers out there?

You guys are really motivating! That's awesome weight loss! I'm trying to stick to the Phase 1 as best as I can. I'm only on day 3. I already know it's going to be a struggle over this weekend and Labor Day weekend.
