Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Wow Sara, that is a lot of excitement! Say we are planning a meeting on September 16 to try and get a Pittsburgh ALDA chapter going; I got them to schedule it for a Saturday afternoon, so I am hoping you can make it! Can you manage to stay healthy for that long?? (LOL) marie me again >I got bounced somehow doesn't matter I am writing to tell you all I just had >2 2 hour seizures a week a part.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi Kailai -- yes, you will definately learn to take your receipes and make them the "SB" way. I'm only on Day 12 and already am doing that. Just made "crustless" pizza for dinner -- brown hamburger and mix in some shredded low fat cheese, about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup, while the meat is still hot. Press that into a pie pan or cookie sheet, depending on how much your making (I used 1 pound of ground sirloin). Then use some legal spaghetti sauce, about a cup, for the next layer, then sauted veggies, etc., for the next layer, and then some more low fat shredded cheese. This is really, really, good. Not a real expensive dish either. You can also add whatever spices you wish -- I put a little nutmeg and oregano in the meat. You can do anything with chicken too -- make grilled chicken and put it on a salad, have it with some veggies, etc. I've pretty much lived on chicken and veggies and salad this past 12 days, but that's because I was fine with it -- there's variety out there if you look for it. I think you could buy whatever is on sale at the store, as far as protein goes, and then cook it up and package it in the fridge for the week. Then you could pull it out and make different things with it. That's what I did with a bunch of chicken breasts that I got on sale. If you can find eggs on sale, boil up a bunch and have them ready for a snack or egg salad (really good in celery) or on top of your salads. Also, string cheese was good, but they don't give that stuff away -- kind of expensive. If you have a Trader Joe's anywhere near you, their pistachios are cheap and you can 30 of those a day, good treat when you want to munch. You are truly going to be amazed at how much your appetite decreases. Mine sure did and I'm the original, number CHOW HOUND under normal circumstances. Good luck and you are going to do fine -- I just know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi Kaiala, I got a message from the SB web site and sent it to you concerning a grocery list. It is easy to spend a lot of money buying fresh veggies and good meats. I understand why people who have no money have weight problems--pastas and fozen pizzas are way cheaper. I know it is hard to throw away food, but think of it as poison for your body. It will cost you in medications and doctor bills.If you have someone who could use it, give it away.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 I really appreciate this list. Every other shopping list I have seen is pages long and since most of the items I don't have it would cost a fortune to buy. As a sugar substitute can I assume Splenda is ok. It's the one I have used for some time and I rather like it. What about flour? I assume regular flour is a big no-no. What flour can one use, like I found a recipe for Phase 1 bread but there are four flours in it. I would bet one must travel to a health food store to get such things am I correct. I really am not trying to be a pest here... just want to start right but yet not spend a fortune. After the first two weeks, or at some point, do you learn how to take a regular recipe (from your past) and revamp it so that it can legally be eaten the South Beach way? I am one who will need this to be a long-time thing to lose and then will stay on maintenance the rest of my life. I know that and that's ok with me. Thanks again for your friendliness and all your helps.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 First off thank you so much for your help and encouragement. What is "legal" spagetti sauce? I'm a bit puzzled at how one knows how much they can eat at a meal. Like the pizza your made (and it does sound delicious, my fiancee' will love it I'm sure) did you just eat a quarter of it or something like that? If a recipe says it makes 4 servings, then do you divide it into fourths and only eat one fourth and save the rest for another day or meal? I have zillions of questions but I'm trying real hard not to overload you with them. I really do appreciate your help so much.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi again--DO you own the book SB Diet, or the SB Good Fats, Good Carbs? YOu probably should read it to get some of these questions answered.THe Good Fats... book is around $7 or less at Target or Walmart. I carried it with me to the grocery store the first few weeks so I could refer to it as I shopped. Legal means low sugar, no trans fats. Forget about flour for a while. Eventually you can use whole grain flour, but not white. If you don't have the book, get it from your library. I will post Phase 1 guidelines again for you.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I didn't like the Ricotta cheese. My favorites on Phase I were part skim Mozzarella cheese, low-fat cottage cheese, fat-free plain yogurt, pecan halves, eggs, tuna, celery, green onions, onions, mushrooms, tomato juice, broccoli, green beans, romaine salad, spinach leaves, olive oil, balsamic vinegar (used with oil on salad), mayonnaise, mustard, and choice of lean meats. I particularly like chicken that is frozen and in packages where I can reach in and take out only the amount I want; sometimes I would cook up a small amount to make chicken salad with it, or I would eat a piece of chicken cooked with mushrooms and onions for breakfast when I got tired of eggs. I would also make deviled eggs on occassion for a change in eggs. Choose only those things that you know you like. I bought a lot of Ricotta and didn't like it. I preferred eating the cottage cheese or yogurt instead, and when I felt like some kind of a dessert the pecans had a nutty different taste for me, so I would eat them. They weren't sweet, but I found my cravings for sweet stuff just weren't there after about 5 days. I do have Splenda, and my daughter likes to mix it in with her yogurt. Good-luck, Vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Yes, I own the book. We spent nearly $18 for it at Borders (30% off). Had no idea it would be cheaper at WalMart. We have a regular Walmart here, not the SuperStore with groceries. I am reading it, hope to finish tomorrow. I will look for the Good Fats book but I didn't know it was available yet. The Bread recipe that I got at an SBD site it says is for Phase 1. But it has all special flours, three or four of them. Anyways, thanks for your help I hope you know it is appreciated. Blessings, kaiala{T} Re: Me Again Hi Kailai -- yes, you will definately learn to take your receipes and make them the "SB" way. I'm only on Day 12 and already am doing that. Just made "crustless" pizza for dinner -- brown hamburger and mix in some shredded low fat cheese, about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup, while the meat is still hot. Press that into a pie pan or cookie sheet, depending on how much your making (I used 1 pound of ground sirloin). Then use some legal spaghetti sauce, about a cup, for the next layer, then sauted veggies, etc., for the next layer, and then some more low fat shredded cheese. This is really, really, good. Not a real expensive dish either. You can also add whatever spices you wish -- I put a little nutmeg and oregano in the meat. You can do anything with chicken too -- make grilled chicken and put it on a salad, have it with some veggies, etc. I've pretty much lived on chicken and veggies and salad this past 12 days, but that's because I was fine with it -- there's variety out there if you look for it. I think you could buy whatever is on sale at the store, as far as protein goes, and then cook it up and package it in the fridge for the week. Then you could pull it out and make different things with it. That's what I did with a bunch of chicken breasts that I got on sale. If you can find eggs on sale, boil up a bunch and have them ready for a snack or egg salad (really good in celery) or on top of your salads. Also, string cheese was good, but they don't give that stuff away -- kind of expensive. If you have a Trader Joe's anywhere near you, their pistachios are cheap and you can 30 of those a day, good treat when you want to munch. You are truly going to be amazed at how much your appetite decreases. Mine sure did and I'm the original, number CHOW HOUND under normal circumstances.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 You can have 1/2c. of guacomole per day. Avocados have fat, but it is good fat. The most specific limits on fats will be listed on the food list. Otherwise, there is not a specific limit. I have seen the recommendation of 2Tbsp of fats such as olive oil or mayo daily. But, I have not seen it on other lists. I just use common sense myself, unless I read specific limits. And, I am able to lose weight this way. Some people are probably more specific about their fats in order to lose. Oh, try to get olive oil in daily. As for hummus.. I don't believe there is a limit on hummus. (someone correct me if I am wrong!) Yes, you can have Malitol. Just be careful since consuming too much can lead to gastro upset. Just remember... any candies with Malitol will count as 'sweet treats'. And, you have a daily limit of 75 calories for sweet treats per day. Hope this helps. Below is how to structure your day. I know it is tough (coming from a more structured plan).. but, try not to get too bogged down in all the details. Just enjoy your food, and as long as you stick to the food list, you'll do great!
