I have not been active on this site for quite a while. Starting phase one on monday. Already started my meal prep. Tonight I made the taco bake on this website. 2 lunches and 2 dinners. Need to prep 3 more lunches for work and a couple of dinners. I have some canned chicken,tuna, and about 4 cans of canned salmon that I would like to use up this month. Also have lean ground beef pork tenderloin chicken breast cooked tyson chicken breast (easy salads) and shrimp in the freezer. Also have.to.figure out snacks thinking of cottage cheese dips with cut up veggies . Looking at recipes so that I am prepared. Hope you.all are well.

Planning meals with canned chicken, tuna, salmon, and various proteins. Cottage cheese dips with veggies for snacks. Good luck with your phase one.

Hello Lisa, how are you doing, are you still on SBD? I'm planning on starting PH1 next week. I haven't been active here either, but looking forward to get back on track. I'm not good at snacks since I usually don't get too hungry between meals.

Snack ideas I found helpful:

Fat free Greek yogurt, low fat Ricotta cheese (nice with sprinkled cinnamon), cottage cheese (try adding various herbs), hard boiled eggs, string cheese, almonds, cashews, macadamias, peanuts, walnuts, all natural peanut butter, hummus, roasted chickpeas, zucchini "chips", pickles and unsweetened relish. sliced or canned tomatoes with parmesan or mozzarella cheese.

I keep a jar of unsalted peanuts in my car for hunger attacks while on the road to avoid stopping and buying something unhealthy. BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR QUEST FOR BETTER HEALTH

I also want to start losing weight and will probably start on Wednesday. A friend's birthday was on Monday, so she chose Wednesday

Emilyhlib, were you able to start? how is it going?

Started phase 1 yesterday and hoping to find others on the same journey. Surprisingly I didn’t find any support groups or communities about this online apart from this one but it doesn’t look like this is much active either. C’mon fellow SBDers, please tell me it’s worth it!!

Hi everyone! I just joined today and I recently started the South Beach Diet. I’m now on Day 3 Phase one and so far I’m doing ok. I had a headache yesterday all day but that since has subsided. I chose this diet because sweets are my weakness and this diet seemed to be doable.

NaomaW- How did you do with PH1? you are right there aren't many forums for SBD This one used to be kind of active but slowly die down. Have you checked FB there are a couple for regular SBD dieters and just for PH1.

Terpsavy50- the 1st week is the hardest due to the sugar detox. Just make sure to hydrate well. How did you 1st week went?
