The SBD doesn't recommend ketchup because of the sugars, but mustard,

horseradish, sauerkraut is OK. I'm not a gourmet cook, so I make a

lot of salads - e.g. arugula or baby spinach greens, diced chicken

breast (I buy it roasted from the market) or shrimp (thawed frozen),

diced part-skim mozzarella, and a lite dressing. I also make an easy

flank steak recipe that my hubby loves:

2 lb. flank steak

1/4 cup lite soy sauce

2 tbsp. olive oil

5 pressed garlic cloves

1 tbsp cracked black pepper

Combine all the ingredients except the meat in a bowl and transfer to

a ZipLoc bag. Add the steak to the bag and seal. Massage the

marinade into the steak and leave the entire bag and its contents in

the refrigerator for up to 6 hours. Broil or grill for 7 minutes on

each side for medium rare. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before

slicing.

For dessert, I have been eating sugar-free Jello and no-sugar-added

Fudgsicles. You can't have berries until Phase 2, unfortunately.

You can't have pickles or ketchup or mustard...They all contain sugar!

You can have 1/2 of a small onion though. Try spices...

If you go back to the beginning of this support group the mom of the

room listed the acceptable foods. The condensed book is only $5.99

and would be a great help to you. Tina

I use French's yellow mustard and it has no sugar in it. Also, the dill pickles I buy have no sugar in them.

I use a no sugar added ketchup from the diet food aisle.
