Re: ww tortillas & hamb, cereals etc

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I just bought the ww pitas yesterday too. We will probably have

turkey burgers tonight so will try that. :-) This is our first week

on Phase II - I'm having trouble breaking out of the Phase 1

limitations even though we only did it for two weeks.

This was the first time I tried cereal; previously I had been having

cottage cheese, and maybe a hard-boiled egg (not my favorite). I

used to have instant oatmeal every morning for breakfast, and it

would keep me until breaktime, so I was quite surprised to hear my

stomach growl! Luckily I always pack a hard-boiled egg for such

emergencies. <G> I did have my morning V-8 (YUCK but I'm getting

used to it) after the cereal, a little 1% milk on the cereal, but

that was it.

Well that just figures Grape Nuts aren't allowed, I love Grape Nuts

(of course especially with raisins). Oh well, I'll look for

something else today while I'm picking up some turkey sausage.

Thanks for the hints!

There are three books - the original SBD one, a little paperback called Good Carbs Good Fats (or something like that - where IS mine?) that lists lots and lots of foods and categorizes them, and then the new SBD cookbook. lso, there is a paying website that lists updates. This is a moving target, as the diet becomes more and more evolved. Luckily, many who are on the paying site frequently provide others with info.

RE: Re: ww tortillas & hamb, cereals etc

I'm new to the group and the SBD. I have purchased the book, but I haven't bought any of the groceries yet. I'm going to NYC over the weekend, so that will be my farewell to "bad" carbs for awhile . The only question I have so far is - how do you know what's allowed? Just curious b/c I haven't seen anything in the book regarding cereal, GrapeNuts, etc. Is there a supplemental book I should look for?

Thanks.

Yes and we thank you for it. I have all three books and it seems

everytime I get thru a review of them all, there is yet

another " update " . Hard to keep up..
