Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Day Two is much more difficult. I am craving chocolate big time! I've allowed myself one small piece of low-carb mint chocolate, and that's it! Part of the problem is it's getting to be "that time of month" and I get the munchies big time! The next few days are going to be horrid. Any tips to survive? Thanks for your help, everyone!!! I find it interesting that I gave up cigarettes a couple of weeks ago and now went on SBD and rarely if ever have cravings especially not for cigarettes. Sometimes I might feel a bit hungry so when I do I either drink more water or eat a veggie. For me it is the oral thing I think rather than the taste. ~~ in NJ~~ So Many Books, So Little Time Currently Reading:Not Sure Just Finished:Prince of Lost Places by Kathy Hepinstall (A-) The Other Boleyn Girl by a ( The Swalllows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra (A) September by munde Pilcher (A) Fear of Frying by Jill Churchill ( The South Beach Diet Book By Arthur Agastson (B+) 3rd Degree by © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingredients * 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach * 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers * 3/4 cup liquid egg substitute * 1/4 cup diced onions * 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese * 3 drops hot-pepper sauce (optional) Instructions Line a baking tray with 12 foil baking cups, spray with cooking spray. Fry the spinach until well cooked, or for 21/2 minutes on high, and drain it. Mix the spinach, peppers, onions, egg substitute, and cheese in a bowl. Split between the 12 baking cups. Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F , check if the cups are cooked by inserting a knife in the center, if it comes out clean, they should be cooked. Any combination of appropriate vegetables and reduced-fat cheeses may be used. They are fairly quick to make. I didn't think to look for shredded cheese - that would speed up the process. I tried red pepper in the latest batch because I didn't have green. >Day Two is much more difficult. I am craving chocolate big >time!

The next >few days are going to be horrid. Any tips to survive? I'm on the second week - so far so good. I lost 3 lbs so far. Much better than I've done doing anything else. You might try the Mocha Ricotta cream - that has unsweetened cocoa powder in it. Once you get to Phase 2, you are allowed semi-sweet chocolate. I highly recommend La Nouba bars - if you can find them. They are made with Belgium chocolate. I really don't like artificial sweetners. They leave such a bad aftertaste, but I'm finding that I can live with Splenda. It's not too bad. Kath ...

I was just wondering if they were using eggbeaters for any other reason. BTW - because I had to taste all of my students cooking efforts I gained tons of weight.
