So don't eat the desserts. I didn't and still do not. Can't stand dessert.

Assuming you've read the book, bear in mind that you do NOT have to use the

meals and recipes listed in the book's meal plans. You can build your own

meal plan by using the foods to enjoy/fods to avoid lists (updated versions

of which are in the files area for this group, BTW). You may find that

greatly simplifies things for you.

FWIW, there is a substantial divide on this matter. The SBD prepackaged

foods are not compliant with the original guidelines of the SBD. They are,

however, endorsed by the good Doctor...just like the multi-million dollar

checks he endorses after these companies pay him for that endorsement.

The SBD pre-packaged foods are, with few exceptions, restricted to P2/P3.

Even Agatston has said these foods should not be a major part of your diet

but rather an occasional fill-in when there's just no time, etc.

Personally, I recommended avoiding them altogether; they're no different

than any of the junk food on the shelves that got many of us here in the

first place.

I really dont understand the probelm with the prepackaged foods, in saying that

I am not trying to be smarty pants I am asking please fill me in on why they are

not good for you? I have only had a couple of them but the one I had was

chicken wrap which had chiken, salsa, ww wrap and jello what is wrong with

that??? I am not good with this at all obviously that is why I am here!! I

would love to learn why these should not be eaten, so that I can avoid them if I

fell neccesary.

Thanks
