It depends on your reasons for going dairy free. Some start the diet including the dairy but a larger portion wait a while before trying some dairy. Many of those gradually try homemade goat yogurt. Goat milk proteins are smaller than cow milk proteins. Some continue to be dairy free and use dairy free recipes and nut yogurt and/or dairy free acidophilus capsules/powders.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Welcome...you will love it on the beach ! -Beth Newbie Today is the day I regain control my life again. My name is Jill, I'm 47 (yikes!), married to Ric, my son and his wife are giving me my first grandbaby in January. I had limited success with the Atkins diet a few years ago, but was unable to stay with it long term. From what I've read and heard, the SBD is the answer I've been looking for. I'll probably have a lot of questions, so please bare with me while I work out the kinks. My primary goal is to be able to run and play with Charly Marie when she reaches toddling age, and not be the grandma that can't do all those fun things with her. I have over 100 lbs to lose and by spreading the lose out over a couple of years I think it's very do able. - Jill Please send your recipes for inclusion in the Files to the Moderator at: South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right-owner Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb.

Welcome, Jill! I'm about 87-90 pounds down in my quest to lose 100+. I started four years ago and had reached the above number only to put back 20. I've since taken about that off again with South Beach, I started the last week in August. Your plan is doable - you just have to put the work in. Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hello Jill! Welcome to the group! I too used to be on the Atkins diet before I got tired and concerned about the heavy foods I had to eat. You will definitely find that the SBD is a healthier solution to weight loss. Just stick with the foods allowed and you will do fine. There are also a lot of resources and information on the group's page (recipes, ideas etc....). I definitely recommend you check them out. Congrats on your first grandchild. I too am pregnant and am due in the beginning of January. Paola --- Jill wrote: > Today is the day I regain control my life again.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks for the warm welcome! I made it through my first day with no problems. I ate snacks between meals, even though it felt totally wrong to be on a diet and having to eat snacks! lol Do any of you keep a daily diary of what you eat? I think I'm going to do it, at least for awhile, since I'm not sure of what I should be eating and this will at least give me something to refer back to. - Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hey Jill! Congrats on the future grandkid!! I have a almost 4 month old son and a 21 month old daughter. My mother has the problem of not being ablt to run with the grandkids; she cannot even hold them most of the time. She had a rough child hood growing up and her body is paying for it now. She recently found out that the muscle in her arms is seperating from the bones and that is why she can no longer hold the kids. She can't do her housework anymore either. A million surgeries and none have done any good; she had her carpel tunnel drilled out and some nerve work done on her elbow and wound up with fingers that have no feeling in them and a left hand that is useless. Had her knee replaced only to be in more pain afterword. I know I am getting off track here sorry everyone; please those of you who pray keep her in your prayers please. My mom is a very sensitive subject with me; I have had to grow up watching her in pain. Jill wrote:Today is the day I regain control my life again.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi Christen, I have the same problem. I can eat a lot of food before I feel a sense of " fullenss. " All my life, I've either binged or starved, to the point where I really didn't know when I had had enough, except when my stomach began to hurt, but that's full beyond satiation. I did go to a nutritionist who works with disordered eaters. She did not suggest banning any food from my diet, to the contrary, she suggested eating the things I like. She did, however, give me guidelines as to the amount of food of varying nutrients a typical woman of my height and age needs to eat per day, and that eating a little protein, carbs, and fats at each meal keeps me satisfied the longest. I decided to stick with this simply to learn what it feels like to be satisfied. I divided the amounts by four, made up my own menus to include whatever foods I liked to eat, and added more as various cravings came up. I am eating what I want, but i do have limits on portion size. If I want something junky, then I go ahead and replace a meal with the junk food if it's something I'm really craving, but within a certain portion size. My goal is also to become a healthy eater. For me, that helped tremendously to learn what it feels like to be satisfied. I often must pull myself away after eating the specified amounts, but the eating I want to continue with is not due to hunger, because once I am away from the food, I am not physically hungry for several hours. I am not having the extreme swings from binging to starving that I once had. It's critical to wait until I'm physically hungry thought, because I can never get enough of anything I'm not physically humgry for. Sara > > Hello everyone!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Replying to my own post, I have spent some time today reading about intuitive eating. I think maybe what I was doing is a form of dieting, or bordering on it. But it did help me to learn what satiation feels like, which is for me the point where my stomach feels neither hungry nor full. I am not aware of having a stomach, just as I'm not aware of having an elbow or an ear as I go about my day. The thing I wonder about with intuitive eating is this....If there were only natural foods available, I can see where the process of using intuitive eating would work. But in a world where so much highly processed food abounds, I wonder if the processing can override the body's intuition, I mean high salt, sugar, fat. There was an article in our local Sunday paper about research now showing that these have the same effect on brain chemistry as alcohol. Yet there are many people in our society who do not have overeating issues. > > > > Hello everyone!
