i have a wedding coming up too that's why i started. too funny. i love the fudgesicles too. lol.lisaterwilliger said:I am actually on day 4! haha! I have always done this diet when I have an important event coming up like a wedding (bridesmaid next Saturday) or have to wear a certain outfit for something. I really like the eggs part cuz I LOVE eggs! I also love the sugar free fudgesicles part! I've always thought that the 1st 2 days are the hardest but once you get past that its pretty smooth sailing. I eat a lot of veggies and turkey bacon, turkey dogs, and discovered turkey sausage..its turkey so it works right? I also really like the ricotta cheese dessert option..in fact I just ate the lemon one! Good luck w/ the rest of phase 1! Once next Saturday is over I'm probably done w/ the SB diet until May when I'm in another wedding!
thanks for the recipe!!! i just printed it out and i'm going to try it tomorrow. i'm desperate for new breakfast! thanks so much! I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!pcmissyfee said:DH & I did South Beach for a couple of months and I lost 22 lbs, he lost 30. When we were doing it, I googled for SB Phase I recipes and found this one :love: . http://www.recipezaar.com/128320 I was addicted to it for weeks, but instead of waffles I made pancakes. I usually ate the whole batch myself, but DS decided he liked them too, so I had to share (or make a double batch):blushing:. We ate them with sugar free syrup or sugar free jam. I also used Korintje cinnamon in them too. :thumbup:
You sound like me and not minding the scrambled eggs every day and my nuts and cheese for snacks. And I LOVED the ricotta cheese dessert, it reminded me of cheese cake!TwinGirlsMom said:I do South Beach on and off throughout the year as a cleanse and I love it!
The first time I did it after I had my twins I lost 8 lbs in the first WEEK and by the end of 2 months I had lost 20 lbs.
I ate 2 hard-boiled eggs for breakfast with salt & pepper; lunch consisted of a salad with fat-free raspberry vinagraitte topped with imitation krab. I seem to be a creature of habit, I noticed, so it was easy for me to fall into a routine with breakfast and lunch. Don't forget your 2 snacks that will keep your metabolism up! I kept nuts and string cheese on hand as my snacks in between b/l and l/d. Good luck! :thumbup:

pcmissyfee said:I really like the whole grain pasta, which you can have if you are doing phase 2 or phase 3. My youngest likes the whole grain pasta and if you use sauce (but look for a low sugar one) you cannot tell. My oldest doesn't like the whole grain, but he also doesn't like sauce on his, only butter and parm cheese.
