South Beach Diet

I have 2 teenagers; 14 and 15, and an 11 year old. How do you all
handle the pantry and meal planning with children involved?
I would love to clean down my pantry, but the kids are slim and dont
need to diet. When I make them the good stuff (StoveTop Stuffing,
corn, ect) I cant have it, it’s such a tease.
My hubby and I have been on Atkins for almost 2 months, did good
till Summer Vacation came and lost it. Now here it is only 5 months
later and weight is back. We hoped to try SBD hearing so much about
it. We are beginning week 2 of Phase 1 today. Doing good so far,
have no idea how much lost, but the clothes feel a bit less snug.
Blessings,
Wendy

Does anyone know if medications can affect lost of weight?

I think some of them do. Check with your doctor.

Just joined the group, been looking for a place to talk and get ideas for food
and other
things while on SBD. My fiance and I started on the 1st of jan, but had talked
about doing
it for a couple weeks before after my dad bought the book. The first couple days
were
difficult, was having withdrawls from my usual sugar fixes. After that though
it’s been
pretty easy. Splenda has been a big help in that Looking forward to hearing
other
people’s idea’s and tips.
Hope everyone’s having a healthy new year so far!

Does anyone know if medications can affect lost of weight? I have been on the
sb diet for 7 days. I did not cheat.I followed it to the letter. I have not lost
1 pound. In the past I have tried the
atkins diet with the same results. Does anyone have any input on this subject?
I sure can use some help.
Thank you.

Are you drinking any water? The book doesn’t really emphasize it, and
I am not really a water drinker, but I have much less trouble with
food cravings when I drink water through the day.. especially
that “Munchie, I want something to eat but I don’t know what”
feeling. I’m usually thirsty, not hungry. Flavored, fizzy, add a
slice of lemon and some splenda, whatever it takes to get it down.

“pugcafe” Subject: New to group I am not only new to the group but also to the SBD. I started on
Monday and have
succeeded on staying the diet. I am having troubles with grocery
shopping.
Everything all of the sudden seems so tempting. I love the recipes
but can’t get rid
of the urge to eat and now can’t stop thinking about food. Also, I
am very grumpy but
that may be my normal nature.”

Hi - I started phase 1 on December 31 and did well for 6 days. then
came the 7th day and … carb overload

Been there… When you feel like you’re going to have a big cheat…do it for one meal. Have what you want but then try not to take off a whole day. You’ll bounce right back..and don’t beat yourself up over it either ok?

Hi - I started phase 1 on December 31 and did well for 6 days. then
came the 7th day and … carb overload. I don’t know what happened.
I was feeling tired but that was passing. I went off completely
Thursday and Friday and am back on today (Saturday). I am starting
over Phase 1, hope i last the two weeks. I had lost 4 lbs in the 6
days I was on. Funny thing is after being off the past two days, I
am not really hungry today.
Tomorrow I am going to try the spinach quiche cups. Has anyone
tried and liked them?
