Made it Through one Week!!

[Guest guest]

Well I made it through one week without bread!! I still have

cravings but hopefully they will die down - I think I made a couple

of mistakes - I had some yogurt with Splenda and I noticed in the

book it says to avoid dairy in the first two weeks - anyone here eat

yogurt in their first two weeks.

I had the occasional fall - I had one bite of my baby's mac and

cheese and 2 potato chips but that is really about all. I also ate

hot dogs (without buns) last week and I don't think I am supposed to

go near hot dogs. Anyhow this is a learning experience for me and

any advice is most appreciative - I am waiting for fiddleheads to

appear!! YUMMY!!

I really don't know how much I lost but my pants feel a lot baggier

then before! SO hopefully thats a good sign! LOL

Blessings,

Congrats on making it through one week!

There has been an update to SBD... I have attached it. Yogurt is allowed now, but only nonfat, plain, no sugar added yogurt is allowed in Phase 1.

Here is the update... good luck to you!

Milk: Old Version: Avoid all dairy in Phase 1, except for less than 2 tablespoons fat-free ½ and ½, nonfat milk, 1 percent milk, or soy milk allowed with coffee.New Version:Phase 1:Now includes 1 percent or fat-free milk, low-fat plain soy milk (4 grams of fat or less per serving), 1 percent or fat-free buttermilk, and fat-free plain yogurt on the Phase 1 "foods to enjoy" list. Limit dairy to 2 servings a day. Note: Feel free to flavor your fat-free plain yogurt like a ricotta creme.Phase 2:May introduce artificially sweetened nonfat flavored yogurt, but limit this variety to 4 ounces daily. Note: Since the SBD is still low in saturated fat, high-fat whole milk products will remain on the "foods to avoid" lists for all Phases.Tomatoes: Old Version:Limited to one whole tomato or 10 cherry tomatoes per meal in all Phases. New Version:Not limited in any Phase. Onions: Old Version:Limited to ½ per day in all Phases. New Version:Not limited in any Phase. Carrots: Old Version:Avoid carrots in Phase 1 and 2; allowed in moderation in Phase 3. New Version:Allowed, starting in Phase 2.
