I LOVE mushrooms. Saute in non-stick skillet with Olive oil spray on them. Eat alone. LOL

Great steamed with fresh zuchinni and squash.

Great thrown in an omelet with turkey bacon and green onions.

Great thrown in with green beans.

Hey everyone! Jo, that is a good idea adding SF jello mix to plain yogurt! Never thought of that! I might try that. Also Jo, the first time I ever did SB phase 1, I was starving! It gets better though especially if you eat your snacks. I drink a bottle of water with every meal and snack so it helps make me feel full.

Jo, I have heard of people putting a lean burger on top of a portabella mushroom, topped with Lowfat cheese. Never done it but it might be good! I might try that soon just to see!

I just stopped in for a minute.....WOW WOW WOW, I've missed alot!!! I see you SHANA!! with your big flip flops..LOL!!!

See me, over here with the purple towel!!! LOL!!
So were talking hunger, sf jello in yogurt, and such recipes? I know for myself I'm hungry most of the time and I seem to be getting more headaches.

I love the idea of sugar free jello in yogurt, thanks I will try that!!
I tried a grilled sirloin patty on a huge lettuce leaf with melted fat free cheese, chopped pickles, chopped onions and a dab of low carb ketchup. If you don't like the portabella mushrooms, try this one!!

Hey Jane, I had horrible headaches when I first started SB.....they eventually get better and go away. Don't let them take you off plan. Hang in there!

How's all the little southbeach bunnies today? Happy and on plan? Tasha, chin up girlfriend, you hear me. If you don't, gonna have to keep Borace alllllllllllll for myself. hehe...

Jane, the slight headaches could be actually fog brain from lack of refined carbs. Just stick with it, k? Not much longer now.

Jo, thanks for the SF jello tip! I can taste it now.

I'm using my new banana smellin suntan lotion. Wow! Smells so good now that I'm gettin my smeller back. *cheesy grin*

Big HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS everyBUNNY... ermmmm... BUDDY!
Shan

I hear Shanna! Today is a good day. Think I got my head on right, just hope it stays on during the weekend.....I use to have a cheat day (sunday) and then I just stay on phase 1 Mon-Sat but I think I need to do it the "right" way now and let myself move on to phase 2.....

I am smelling your suntan lotion too Shanna! Love it!

Hi beach bums!
just thought I'd stop in and say good morning. I think I am detoxing a bit too, I have had a not very nice breakout on my chin yesterday which hasn't happened for years so it has to be the diet.
anyone for volleyball?

Oh my how exciting things are getting here at the beach!! So much enthusiasm and good will!!
Ok, about the headaches...I am a migraneer, (chronic migraine sufferer) and when I first started Atkins & South Beach, I was miserable for the first few days....ON BOTH diets, my headaches went away. When I am not following a low-carb diet, I cannot eat avocados, they are an INSTANT migraine, but on SB & Atkins, I can eat them pain-free!
Here's a recipe I tried last night:
sautee minced garlic, onions, tomatoes, add ground turkey, low-sodium soy sauce, worchester sauce (I'm sure I mispelled that), garlic salt and add zucchini....my boys and I LOVED it!!
On that note, I decided to cook the SB way my boys can still have their extra, but as long as mom is cooking we're all eating the same thing at the dinner table----I'm not making more than one meal!!

That sounds pretty good Jo! My kids are still young and in that VERY PICKY phase and I have to cook 2 meals or they will not eat. So frustrating to cook 2 meals every day!
