Went to the grocery last night a bought eggs, low fat cheese, Canadian bacon, turkey and lots of salad mix and veggies. Phase 1 of this diet seems to be a lot like the Atkins diet. Couple of questions....I am a little worried about getting constipated in phase 1 (sorry so blunt)! I also worried about getting headaches and loss of energy. I have been doing BikramYoga (hot yoga) three times a week which is pretty intense and am worried that I may not have the energy to do the class. Just a few concerns but ready to give it a try. We are going to the international festival today where there are lots and lots a great food and spirits but I am confident that I will make the right choices today!!!

Well I exercise 3 times to 4 times a day and have no problems and strenuous workouts i might say! Never had headaches but I don't eat red meat now I cut out meat all together except fish...I love SOUTHBEACH and if you stick to the program it really works. No loss of energy for me but then it depends on what your diet was like before. As for breakfast during phase 1 I ate tuna and walnuts or cheese anything i felt like within PHASE I eat your dinner for breakfast if you like there is no set way to eat only the foods in that particular phase. I personally love SOUTHBEACH it is not a diet but a healthy way of living and Ive tried everything not ATKINS because I was never really a meat eater only chicken so all the best to you!

I won't be on here as much anymore, at least for a few months...... I just found out that I'm pregnant!
We just found out this weekend, but I've had a feeling for a couple weeks now, it was only confirmed today.
So ofcourse, I will not be trying to lose weight or hanging out on the Beach with you as I'd planned. However, I do plan on keeping in touch weekly or so as I do want to lose all this weight as soon as the baby is born. Plus, I want to enjoy a healthy pregnancy and still eat healthy and be active.
Thought I'd let you know the news.

Oh wow Congrats Belle!!! I am so happy for you sweetie!!! YEAH ANGELA is a nice name for a girl!!

Ok, thanks for the help. I am not giving up on this idea, I just really need to study and plan for it. I didn't know you could mix it up, or even start on Phase 2. I'm wondering if I should do that, since I don't need to lose much more?

Don't know what pesto sauce is? But as long as it doesnt have a high sugar count it should be okay!
