Week three and four: move to four good carbs choices daily: 1-2 fruits and 1-2 starches. Read more advice on reintroducing carbs here. Want specific food choices?

I gave each phase its own post. You can now click on the post number and see just that one post for easier printing.

It can be very confusing at first so don't be afraid to ask questions. Phase II can be even more confusing so keep at it and ask away!!

From today's SBD Daily Dish:

Quote:
Do You Know the Many Benefits of Fiber?
The South Beach Diet has always been a fiber-rich plan, designed to encourage eating plenty of high-fiber foods, such as legumes, whole grains, and whole fruits and vegetables. Why the emphasis on fiber? A high-fiber diet can help normalize your blood sugar levels, improve your cholesterol levels, have a positive effect on bowel function, and help keep you from feeling hungry, which aids in weight loss.
"Fiber plays an important role in long-term health," says Dr. Arthur Agatston, preventive cardiologist and author of The South Beach Diet Supercharged, "but as a society, we don't consume nearly enough. According to some statistics, Americans only eat between 12 and 17 grams per day when they should be getting 25 to 30 grams per day."
There are two forms of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels by delaying the absorption of glucose in your blood stream. It also improves cholesterol levels by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool, which promotes regularity. It's important to consume both types of fiber for good health. Most foods contain both types of fiber, but oats, nuts, beans, and fruit contain predominately soluble fiber while whole grains and vegetables contain more insoluble fiber.
Fortunately, if you're eating the South Beach Diet way, you don't need to count grams of fiber or worry about whether you're meeting your fiber needs. The program was doctor-designed to ensure that you're reaping the benefits of a fiber-rich meal plan

OK, enough. I had a rough week (or two? I don't even know - I lost track of time). I was just in a bad place emotionally and rebelled against my "diet" big-time. I won't go into details here (maybe later in my journal I'll hash it all out for my own future reference), but suffice it to say that I went back to a lot of old bad habits. I messed up big-time, but now it's time to straighten myself out and undo the damage.

Starting today I'm back in Phase 1.

Hello , I'm new to SBD. I weigh one pound less than I did 5 days ago, not sure if it's down to SBD as it is only my third day following the plan. I'm really enjoying this WOE, so I sure hope this works for me.
