PHASE 1 FOOD LIST AND SAMPLE MENU
"The South Beach Diet™ is not low-carb or low-fat. Instead, the South Beach Diet™ teaches you to change the balance of food you eat to emphasize health and weight-loss! You'll do away with bad carbs and bad fats, and start eating good fats and good carbs.
What you'll eat: You'll eat normal-size helpings of meat and seafood (like chicken, beef, fish, and shrimp). You'll have plenty of vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You'll have salads with real olive oil in the dressing. You'll have three balanced meals a day. You'll eat great foods and satisfy your hunger. The South Beach Diet™ will also help you banish cravings and avoid the sensation that you need more food. You'll be urged to have snacks twice a day. You can have dessert after dinner. You can drink diet soda. You can even eat out! What you won't eat: For the first 14 days you won't have any bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. No fruit, even. Before you panic: You'll begin adding those things back into your diet again in two weeks. But for right now, they're off-limits. You also won't eat candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, or sugar for two weeks. Also no beer or alcohol. After this phase, though, you'll be free to drink wine again and eat a wider variety of desserts".. Arthur Agatston, MD Infomation for this posting was gleened from Dr. Agatston's book, his updates and various postings found on the internet. To our knowledge, it contains the latest updates.

Just a quick question, can I skip the first two stages if just starting? I was on atkins and lost the weight and trying to maintain, but for heart health reasons going to follow south beach way of eating. Some of those foods listed do not bring back cravings, right?

Off to the market for your first South Beach Diet shopping spree? Having a list of necessities will prevent you from going over budget in the early days of the diet. Here are 10 must-have items for Phase 1:
Eggs Vegetable juice cocktail or tomato juice Part-skim ricotta cheese Low-fat cheese sticks Olive oil Nuts (unsweetened) Salad greens Canned tuna fish (vegetarians can opt for beans or another protein source) Canadian bacon or lean deli meat (vegetarians can enjoy meat substitutes) No-sugar-added fudgesicles From a Daily Dish |

I have a question about the phase 1 list of foods. I see where somethings are listed on how much you can eat a day and some are not. I am starting phase 1 next week and would like to know just how much I can eat? Do I need to count calories? I assume this isn't a free-for-all and I can just eat as much lean meat and vegies I want. Right?

I know for me when DH and I first did Phase 1 (back in December 2003) I did not worry about calorie intake one bit. I just ate until I had enough, enjoying three meals per day, 2 snacks and no sugar added fudgesicles for dessert. We stuck to a pretty basic diet (eggs and breakfast meat; salads with grilled chicken breast on top and grilled meat and veggies or a salad at dinner). I lost 14 pounds the first two weeks and was so pleased.
I went on to lose 1-3 pounds per week every week for about six months and I even started mixing South Beach and Atkins together again not paying any attention to calories. It wasn't until I got within 10 pounds of my goal that my weight plateaued. So I would say that yes, if you are hungry eat something. Other than that, there is no reason to overeat but then again, this is just my experience. Hubby and I just completed Phase 1 again and I lost 8.5 pounds after re-gaining 29 pounds of the 109 pounds I originally lost. Again, not paying attention to calories and following a SBD/Atkins mix using lots of Linda Sue's recipes. I know I'll have to start watching my calories soon but I don't worry too much about calories during Phase 1. Maybe someone else has a different experience they would like to share. Enjoy Phase 1!

I have a question about beans on phase 1.
I have the 2004 book, which I guess is the original... it doesn't say anything about eating beans in it. I checked the updates thread and that doesn't say anything about eating beans, or beans being added. Am I missing something? Or can I eat a serving of beans a day during phase one? ![]() edit: I think I was confusing the vegeterian list with the non-vegeterian list!!! Last edited by Jeska : 01-08-2007 at 10:01 AM. |

The food list really changed since I first got the book. This updated one is very helpful! I am a milk drinker, so this is a huge relief. First time around on SBD was rough because of the milk restriction.
