Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yes it looks like too many starches at the start of Phase 2. Your husband had about 6 servings? I may be wrong but each slice is considered a serving, and each 1/2 roll is considered a serving. You should start with one serving a day, also try some fruits 1 serving a day and see what happens on the scale. When the scale starts to go up, it means there is too much. My question is with phase 2 we are eating only what we are suppose to and I am still worried that we are eating to many carbs.. Today Tim had two small sugar free bran muffins I made (no flour, just bran) . For lunch he had an omelette with two pieces of whole wheat bread and a large tossed salad. For supper he had one large burger with whole wheat bun and large green salad. Is this too much carbs for the first week of phase 2....?? For breakfast I had 1 cp. of oatmeal. For lunch I had a nicely cooked salmon, just caught fresh by my son in law..For supper I had large burger on whole wheat bun, salad and skim milk.. Are we over doing it with the carbs..I am just worried we will not continue to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Also a serving of oatmeal (dry) is 1/2 cup and the roll i would think is 2 servings which equals 3 servings....

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Not so much that it's too many carbs, it's too many STARCHY carbs. Try cutting the bread like things back to one a day or so till you see how you are going to react. Ph 2 requires some tinkering to see how your body does things. carb's question. Hi there..I was just wondering, if anyone could add some wisdom to my little knowledge..My husband and I are doing the South Beach way of Life together...We were both very successful with phase 1. My question is with phase 2 we are eating only what we are suppose to and I am still worried that we are eating to many carbs.. Today Tim had two small sugar free bran muffins I made (no flour, just bran) . For lunch he had an omelette with two pieces of whole wheat bread and a large tossed salad. For supper he had one large burger with whole wheat bun and large green salad. Is this too much carbs for the first week of phase 2....?? For breakfast I had 1 cp. of oatmeal. For lunch I had a nicely cooked salmon, just caught fresh by my son in law..For supper I had large burger on whole wheat bun, salad and skim milk.. Are we over doing it with the carbs..I am just worried we will not continue to lose. We also are not eating any sugar..I am proud of how we are doing....and hope to have some impute from you gals.. Also another question..We love pizza...I had a friend in a condo next to ours in Florida that made pizza with whole wheat crust..She used her bread machine and just took it out at a certain time and let it rise I think, but am not sure...My bread machine has a pizza dough recipe using white bread. My question is, can I do the same recipe using whole wheat flour with no white flour and if so when would I take it out and once out what would I do with it...Thanks for anyone that can help..Barb <> < <>< <>< Fill my Mouth with Worthwhile Stuff<>< <>< <>< And Nudge Me When I have said enoughReminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb.
