DAY 1 of South Beach!!!

JacquieUK · 02-02-2007, 09:25 AM

Hi Everyone!
Today is my first day of south beach!!

Actually I am still working my way through the book, and have gone mainly by the stickies here about phase 1.

Could all you SBers have a look at my first day and give me any constructive advise?
I would be really grateful!!

B 1/2 pint skimmed milk
S 8 macadamia nuts
L Tomato and Basil soup
S Red pepper with lf cottage cheese
D Chicken breast wrapped in lean bacon with lf cauliflower cheese
S Skinny coffee
Treat 75 cals approx of hard sf sweets

Didn't have anything great in for breakfast this morning, so just went for skimmed milk!

Usually I've been having a fruit smoothie, and I did miss it this morning, so I've got some sf tinned rhubarb and I am planning on trying rhubarb smoothie in the morning!!!YUMMY!

Please bear in mind that I am still working through the book, so I certainly don't know the plan well ...YET!!!
All tips gratefully received!!

Hi Jacquie and

You really need protein with every meal, so I would suggest some egg or cheese or protein powder at breakfast. Maybe make your smoothie into a protein drink. Clever idea to use rhubarb; I wouldn't have thought of that.

Same with lunch. Have some meat or cheese with your soup. This actually looks good for your first day.

Hi Rose
Thanks for looking at my menu and for the tips!

Can I just ask, for breakfast does skimmed milk not count as protein? So if I have skimmed milk/rhubarb smoothie, is that protein and veg? Or is it just not enough protein? I will get some protein powder to add to it if you think I need to.

Todays plan is -

b rhubarb smoothie
s 8 macadamia nuts
l 2 egg/lf cheese/2 lf bacon omlette
s red pepper/lf cottage cheese
d chicken breast/lf cauliflower cheese/leeks/lf bacon
s 8 x sf hard sweets (72 cals)

Thanks for your help with this, I just want to get it right!!

By the way I lost 1lb yesterday

A good start even if my menu was not right!!!

A cup of milk has 8g. of protein, so I should have said not enough protein. Find a good low carb, sugar free whey protein powder and add a scoop. You'll find many other uses for it as you go along. And, you're right, you're off to a great start.

Thanks for clarifying that for me!
I'll have some extra cheese with my smoothie tomorrow, or until I can make it to the shops for protein powder!!
