Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Annie.. What do you mean by points? We do not count points in the SBD diet. Also, good fats are fine to eat. Fat is an important part of a healthy diet. Pudding is not allowed on phase 1. You can have it on Phase 2. Also, good carbs are fine to eat. This is not a no carb or low carb diet. Do you have a copy of the accepted foods on Phase 1. If not you can find them on our site ... Eat without fear and you will be fine. Ask questions and we are here to help. This group has some wonderful and knowledgeble people on board. Instead of the sugar free /ff pudding, try the sugar free fudge pops, as they are allowed, same for sf popsicles. Just count your allowance. A book that will help you with fat and carbs on this diet is The South Beach Diet Good Fats and Good Carbs guide. It is an excellent book, and I highly recommend it. Hope this helps you. Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 You are right that this group has some knowledgeable and wonderful people. I saw that right away! As for the " points, " I mentioned -- it was just a reference to the fact that I've been using that system for almost a year and it's a safe and comfortable feeling to have that as guide to not overeat. I know this is a different system, but it's tough to transition from one system to another over night. A lot was involved and invested. . . but if I'm going to really try this, then I know I need to do that. So I will. Yes, I have a copy of the accepted foods and I've been reviewing it and trying to get it stuck into my brain. I am relying on the list and the site and the book. It's the " eat without fear " part that's tough! Yes... I love those sugar free pops. Just couldn't figure out why one would be allowed and the other not. I ASSUMED. Wrong! I have the So Beach book, but not the good/bad fats book. That's good to know about! Thanks. Annie > > Annie.. > What do you mean by points? We do not count points in the SBD diet.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I had the same problem with WW--I was starved all the time. ann > > I guess I am coming from a totally different side of the " point " system than you are maybe and I guess that is why I love the beach.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Annie, You only have to do the snacks on phase 1. Once you are done with phase 1, the snacks are no longer mandatory. ann -- In South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right , " anne_wycke " wrote: > > Right.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Well, that ought to make things easier then for people like me who sometimes forget to eat! Thank you! (But, when possible to plan that much, I think the snack is probably good idea, anyway, as long as it's a healthy one. " Healthy " meaning " thought out ahead of time, " and not a last-minute grab that will throw the day's protein/fat/carb ratio drastically out of proportion. And then -- good ole water is always handy as a fillerup! > > > > Right. But with SBD you're supposed to snack in between meals -- > on GOOD stuff!
