my weight this morning was down to 168.4 - lost a little over a pound. I walked about 1/2 mile yesterday - not much , but better than my usual sedentary lifestyle. I have to spend this afternoon at my son's basketball awards banquet which has evolved over the years from a full banquet to just a huge dessert pitch in. I am determined not to eat any of the desserts!
By the way, how do I start a journal so I can post my daily menus there instead of starting a new thread here every day?

Eat before you go that banquet so that you are not hungry. It helps to have a plan going into a situation like that.
Try to eat as close to this meal plan as possible:

How To Adapt Your Meal Plan- Phase I
The South Beach Diet? is designed so that you can easily swap meals and ingredients. If you don't like eggs for breakfast, have low-fat cottage cheese or lean meat instead. Not a fish lover? Then choose lean beef or poultry. In Phase 1 of the diet, you can eat as many proteins and vegetables as you like, plus fats like olive oil. Fruit and starches aren't allowed until Phase 2. Here's a look at some general eating guidelines. For specific food choices, check out the Phase 1 Foods to Enjoy & Avoid list.
BREAKFAST
Protein: Quantity is not limited. Start with a 2 oz. portion, eat slowly, go back for seconds if still hungry.
Vegetables: Minimum 1/2 cup or 6-8 oz. tomato or vegetable juice.
Fruit: None
Starch: None
Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt)
Fat: 1 tsp mayonnaise, trans-free margarine, or oil (optional)

LUNCH

See a list of Sweet Treat options here
BEVERAGES
Diet, decaffeinated, sugar-free drinks are not limited. You can enjoy caffeinated coffee or diet sodas with caffeine added, but limit to 1 - 2 servings per day.

This is how we learn how to eat according to the SBD plan. I used this tool to teach me and it has helped me a lot. 
I left you a link in your other thread for you to start a journal. |
