Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 ....I am feeling weak and jittery and find I need to get out of the main part of the house so I don't see anyone else's dinner plates with their carbs and sugar Make sure you eat some protein at this point. No need to feel weak and jittery. Make some deviled eggs, hummus, try sauteeing beans with some olive oil, onions , green pepper and a little crushed tomato. Make sure you have lots available to eat esp when feeling yukky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Turnips are OK on Phase 1 according to the book. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I make mashed turnips. I cut up a big one and boil it the mash it like a potato. I'm used ro eating vegetables. My mom always made a lot of vegetables for dinner when we were all kids and my grandmother always made homemade soups and stews with vegetables. It's funny--when I was young my grandmother used to tell us that too much bread and "starches" were no good for you. And this was way before the low carb diets were popular.

If you don't like eggs, don't eat them. Fill the protein portions of your salad with ham, cheese, chicken, turkey, beef. If you can stand it, try shrimp or crab. For breakfast, eat dinner. There is nothing in the book that says you have to eat eggs for breakfast, nor is there any rule that says dinner must be eaten in the evening. I looked at the menues in the book and mixed and matched according to what I figured my family would like. We had some of the big lunch salads for dinner a couple of times, and some of the real fancy breakfasts (Artichokes Benedict) for brunch on a Saturday. >How does one get to the point of liking this.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Today I bought the vanilla flavored low-carb yogurt -- I think Dannon makes it. I bought the 4 pack - the containers are smaller than regular size ones. Can we eat this on Phase I? I know yogurt isn't allowed, but wasn't that written before the low carb stuff came out?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I meant to add... the one thing that I do see different in SB and Atkins is that SB is focused on lower fat dairy and leaner meats while Atkins "recommends" that you eat healthier proteins like salmon, etc., but doesn't require it. It allows you to eat higher fat foods for satiation purposes. Cheryl It doesn't bother me, but that's because I think that both SB and Atkins are very low carb to start with, and both become more moderate as you progress through the phases. Atkins gets a bad rap from many because so many follow it without actually learning how it's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
