Howdy!
I am new here. Me & my daughter started the South Beach Diet on 5/28/2006:Sympathy: so far everything is going good! Although yesterday I was dying for a cookie! This is our 2nd time doing this diet. We did it when it first came out and my daughter lost a lot of weight. I lost a little. :Sarcastic:
Hopefully it will go better this time for me. I have been sprinkling ground flax seed on top of our food, since you really can't taste it anyway (to me anyway) don’t want to get plugged up. With all the cheese & meat it’s bound to happen.
We had Spinach w/ eggs and cheese for breakfast. Lunch is Black Beans with Pico de Gallo (tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, & cilantro) she has chicken with hers. I brought some cottage cheese and cashews for snacks. Fish is for dinner.

But I have to find some desserts to try out for Phase 1- I found a couple Mocha Ricotta Cheese & Iced Vanilla Chai Coffee & of course we always have Jello.
Any others suggestions?

Hello and welcome to the board! :wave:

Below is a list of sweet treats for phase one. I really like the sugar free fudgsickles. I have the sugar free jello with a small dollop of Cool Whip sometimes. Cool Whip does have a small amount of "bad stuff" in it so it's upto the individual about whether they want to use it or not. Even the sugar free version has corn syrup listed as it's second ingredient! I think that Mindy recommends Redi Whip instead.

Be sure to check out the recipe forum here on the board. There's a bean cake recipe that's pretty good.

SWEET TREATS (Limit to 75-100 calories per day)
Sweet treats are items that contain sugar alcohols, such as:
Candies, hard, sugar-free
Chocolate powder, no-added-sugar
Cocoa powder, baking type
Fudgsicles, no sugar added
Gelatin, sugar-free
Gum, sugar-free
Jams and jellies, sugar-free
Popsicles, sugar-free

Some Sugar Free Products may be made with sugar alcohols (isomalt, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol or xylitol) and are permitted on the SBD. They may have associated side effects of GI distress (abdominal pain, diarrhea & gas) if consumed in excessive amounts.

I defiantly won’t forget the Sugar Free Fudgsicles!
