Here's some ideas:

Roman Meal Whole Wheat

Pepperidge Farm 9 Grain

Pepperidge Farm German Dark

Just look in the ingredients list and make sure the first ingredient is some kind of whole grain. With no fortified, enriched or just wheat flour.

Re: New Member

Just have to reply to this. When I get a sweet craving I make a kind of shake with skim milk, Splenda and vanilla, pour it over ice and it's great! One of these days I'm going to dig out the blender and make a slush out of it.

I've been learning a lot from the list, I joined Tue when I started SBD. All of you have some great hints!!

I looked for whole grain bread yesterday while we were out shopping, so I'd know where to buy it when I can have it again and found it nowhere! Is anyone on the list from the Mississippi area?? Where do you find whole grain bread? And doesn't someone make a sugar free pudding already made up. I've found the sugar free jello but can find no pudding.

yes, whole wheat is a whole grain. The most common one, I would say. Others might be whole oats, whole rye, whole barley and whole spelt.

Hi, my name is Caroline, and I live in the UK.

Hi Caroline,

I am glad to hear that South Beach is finally becoming popular in the UK. I am English living in the US and when I spoke to my sister in the UK about South Beach she didn't seem very familiar with it.

Over here most of the restaurants now offer low carb meals so I am sure that before long that will be an option where you are too. The trouble is that so much food in England is full of carbs. I don't know what I am going to do when I go home to visit next month. How can I not have fish and chips, pasty, cream cakes? I understand your dilemma. The English diet is rich in carbs. Hopefully you'll overcome the temptation.

Cheryl - I was eating so few carbs because I basically stayed on Induction for the year. I added in brazil nuts, strawberries and blackberries, but if I had too many of those in a week I put on weight. And one of the reasons I put on weight was that I just couldn't stay eating only meat and veg forever. Eating out here consists of buying yourself an Atkins bar beforehand, - and those were only available in January - or going without. Salads are available, but mostly pasta salads. Lots of sandwiches, scones, cakes, carbs,carbs carbs. I am talking about eating out at service stations, or having something when out at a stately home or visiting gardens, or even friends. I missed out on everything. So I fell off the wagon so much that all the fat you have on Atkins stayed on me - though my husband lost 28 pounds - and I thought I had better switch to a diet that included the 'right' carbs because I was so bored. - Caroline

RE: New Member

Hi Caroline!

I am about to begin the SBD as well. I too have been using Atkins as my diet for about 1 1/2 years on the advice of my physician. I have lost a little weight (I'm a type 2 diabetic), but felt the need for a change. However, despite that, Atkins is relatively similar to SBD in many ways. I know, I know... no one hit me, but it is IF you truly follow it as written.

Can I ask why you went without any carbs? And why you went a year without any fruit? You're supposed to be eating carbs the whole time, and you're also supposed to add back fruit, primarily berries, after a short time without. I've been having raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries on Atkins.

My main concern with what you said is this, and it's truly none of my business, but I'm curious...

Atkins is very easy to follow when you eat out, at least around here (I'm in Las Vegas, NV). I eat salads, steamed veggies, proteins, and sometimes a very small portion of something like a yam (they're really popular right now... had them at a wedding recently). Are you looking at SBD as a way to go out and eat more breads/grains? Or are the meals where you are so different than ours?

Hi, my name is Caroline, and I live in the UK. I am just about to start the South Beach Diet on Monday. I have been on the Atkins diet for a year, but with little success, sadly. I have felt wonderful in the fact that my blood sugar stabilised and my energy went up, but although I lost a little weight initially, after about 3 months it all went back on, and now I am back at my starting position. I think this was because I just couldn't stay off carbohydrates forever! I mean, a year without fruit and any carbs! I do hope that I will be able to take weight off and live with the South Beach diet. I have read the book, and it does seem a sensible step up from Atkins. On Atkins, you could never eat anything when you were out - or not in this country - so I ended up always cheating.

--OMG how did you ever do that Caroline? I tried Atkins 2 years ago

and the induction period was just too much for me. I was a mess

after 2 days with zero carbs in my body. I was shakey sweaty dizzy

etc. I had zero energy and couldn't even make it down the basement

stairs to my treadmill/ stationary bike etc never mind the gym. It

was the most awful 2 days of my life. Prior to that I was working

out at the gym minimum 3-4 days a week with cardio and weight

training.

It was like I had a relapse of my MS symptoms all over again which

I was diagnosed with over 10 years ago but it has not advanced. This

SB diet I am finding very easy to adapt to. The first couple days

was abit jittery but I just put my sorry butt to bed with tons of

water, tea and took it easy and now I am over the worst of it I

think. I do not miss the bread rice pasta etc at all. I just eat

that darn diet jello like its going out of a style and it really

helps me alot...I guess to each his /her own... but it's strange how

these diets affect us all differently. I so prefer SB over

Atkins..but there are others I know who swear b Atkins..
