Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 The only thing I would say is that you probably needed more protein at lunch -- did you feel hungry? Keep up the good work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point. I often will incorporate my natural peanut butter during lunch, and I am not as hungry as quickly. I am not a big fan of meat without being in a sandwich, but maybe I need to learn to try. Or, I'll have my 1 starch at lunch to have a pita sandwich with meat. Is there any other good sources of protein, besides nuts and actually having meat? Thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Steph, You're doing well, but here are some comments: Lunch: Add a protein Have a protein based afternoon snack. Have a protein based dessert. The swirlie is a sweet treat. Make sure you get about 5 servings of veggies daily. Drink all your water. Good luck! Phase 2 day I wanted to post what I ate yesterday, and see if I am eating OK for Phase 2...B-fast1 slice whole wheat toastnatural peanut butterboiled egg1% milkSnackcheese stickLunchgrapes2 cups sliced red bell pepperranch dressingnonfat, no sugar added yogurt (flavored)Dinnergrilled lean pork chop2 cups steamed veggiesSnackno sugar added tropicana swirl (60 calories)***************I probably need to eat veggies in the morning. I often cook an omelet, and throw in lots of fresh veggies. But, on this morning, I needed a more quick breakfast.I have been on Phase 1 for 9 days now. I am still only having 1 starch and 1 fruit daily. My weight loss has slowed down, but I have lost a total of 18 pounds since I started!I welcome input..Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I didn't like meat without it being a sandwich either, , but I do like to take a piece of low-fat provolone (I get Sargentos brand at my grocery, already sliced)and then I roll up some low-fat lunchmeat, usually turkey, and I really like it -- I'll sometimes have some pickle slices or a little lettuce or tomato on the side and it really does taste good. The only other thing I eat for protein at lunch is tuna salad and I do really enjoy that. Not a big fish eater at all, but I do like that. Keep up the good work -- you really are doing great!
