Exchanges and Receipes

Some of the exchanges and receipes sound very good. Like instead of mashed potatoes, steam califlower, then mash it add margarine, and half and half. I am really going to have to try this.

Another one, pizza on a whole grain crust, with mushrooms, green peppers, onions and low-fat cheese. Don't these just sound delicious.

Hambugers, take off the bun and ketchup, and be moderate on the mayonnaise and mustard. There you go. I will just need to remember to forgo the ketchup. I just can't wait until I am off of my current diet restrictions. This is something that will be wonderful, and exciting new part of my life. If it works, great; but if it is a easy it I am being led to believe and can keep it going; then wonderful.

Phase 1

As many of you, may or may not, know. The South Beach diet works in phases, and there are a total of three. Since Dr. Agatston totes his nutrition program, not as a diet plan, but as a change in lifestyle plan.

I know that many diet plans are meant to be used by all, but since I am active in the LDS faith, there will be certain foods that I will not be posting about; ie alcohol. So here is the list of what, I will be able to eat on the First Phase of the diet.

I will preface this list saying, Wow. If you are interested, keep reading.

Sorry, but I am having some issues bring over the file. Once I get these fixed I will post it.

South Beach Choice

Welcome, friends. Many of you know the many things that are wrong with my health. One of my doctors suggested that I try the South Beach Diet. At the moment, most of my blogs will be about the research that I doing, pictures of the types of food that I can and cannot partake of.

Once, I am off of my current diet restrictions, I will be posting pictures and my commentary of this particular diet.
