I want to start SB tomorrow but my book hasn't arrived yet

AmyLowCarbs · 05-21-2006, 02:29 PM

I ordered the book on ebay last week and don't want to wait any longer to start losing. I read Atkins and did that a couple years ago.

I just have some quick questions -

can you have beans in phase 1? Kidney and Garbanzo? they are not on the foods to avoid or the acceptable foods.

You can have up to 3 glasses of milk or yogurt in phase 1? that's great!

TIA for answering.

Garbanzo beans and kidney beans are on the allowed foods list--1/3-1/2 c. servings. I've never seen canned kidney beans without sugar, but if you cook dried, you will be fine. You could use red beans instead. Check the stickies at the top of the page until your book comes.

Thanks! I just went to Smart and Final and bought 2 different kinds of Davinci Syrups. I'm psyched!

Thanks to whomever posted that you can find them there. I would have never thought to look, but there is a huge selection of Davinci for $3.74 and Torani for a little less.

I didn't buy Torani even though there was a much bigger selection because it has Ace-K in it.
