PHASE 1 FOOD LIST AND SAMPLE MENU

"The South Beach Diet™ is not low-carb or low-fat. Instead, the South Beach Diet™ teaches you to change the balance of food you eat to emphasize health and weight-loss! You'll do away with bad carbs and bad fats, and start eating good fats and good carbs. What you'll eat: You'll eat normal-size helpings of meat and seafood (like chicken, beef, fish, and shrimp). You'll have plenty of vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You'll have salads with real olive oil in the dressing. You'll have three balanced meals a day. You'll eat great foods and satisfy your hunger. The South Beach Diet™ will also help you banish cravings and avoid the sensation that you need more food. You'll be urged to have snacks twice a day. You can have dessert after dinner. You can drink diet soda. You can even eat out! What you won't eat: For the first 14 days you won't have any bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. No fruit, even. Before you panic: You'll begin adding those things back into your diet again in two weeks. But for right now, they're off-limits. You also won't eat candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, or sugar for two weeks. Also no beer or alcohol. After this phase, though, you'll be free to drink wine again and eat a wider variety of desserts".. Arthur Agatston, MD Infomation for this posting was gleened from Dr. Agatston's book, his updates and various postings found on the internet. To our knowledge, it contains the latest updates. Our thanks to all! This is a list of food that we can feel free to enjoy as well as foods to avoid. We don't count calories or carbs but we know that they do count so practicing portion control can be key to a happy weight loss. Also portion sizes are not limited unless otherwise specified. Foods to Enjoy PROTEIN BEEF Lean cuts, such as: Eye of Round Ground beef:· Extra Lean (96/4)· Lean (92/8)· Sirloin (90/10) Pastrami, lean Sirloin Steak Tenderloin Top Loin Top Round POULTRY, skinless Cornish hen Turkey bacon (2 slices per day) Turkey sausage (low-fat, limit to once per week) Turkey and chicken breast SEAFOOD All types of fish and shellfish PORK Boiled ham

100% Egg Protein is considered the most nearly perfect source of protein because its amino acid pattern most nearly matches that needed for human growth. With 24g of protein, this is a superior meal replacement and perfect for high protein, low carb diets.

How to Adapt Your Meal Plan

How to Adapt Your Meal Plan Phase I

Quote:

How To Adapt Your Meal Plan The South Beach Diet™ is designed so that you can easily swap meals and ingredients. If you don't like eggs for breakfast, have low-fat cottage cheese or lean meat instead. Not a fish lover? Then choose lean beef or poultry. In Phase 1 of the diet, you can eat as many proteins and vegetables as you like, plus fats like olive oil. Fruit and starches aren't allowed until Phase 2. Here's a look at some general eating guidelines. For specific food choices, check out the Phase 1 Foods to Enjoy & Avoid list. BREAKFAST Protein: Quantity is not limited. Start with a 2 oz. portion, eat slowly, go back for seconds if still hungry. Vegetables: Minimum 1/2 cup or 6-8 oz. tomato or vegetable juice. Fruit: None Starch: None Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt) Fat: 1 tsp mayonnaise, trans-free margarine, or oil (optional) SNACK Snacks are required. Choose a protein, vegetable, fat-free plain yogurt, or nuts/seeds. A snack that combines protein (1 oz.) and vegetables is encouraged. LUNCH Protein: Quantity is not limited. Start with a 3 oz. portion, eat slowly, go back for seconds if still hungry. Vegetables: Minimum 2 cups. We encourage you to include a serving of beans (1/3-1/2 cup) as part of your vegetables. Fruit: None Starch: None Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt) Fat: 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, trans-free margarine or oil, or 2 Tbsp salad dressing SNACK Snacks are required.

On the yogurt question: Plain fat free for phase I and you can add AF, I use splenda...and you can also add vanilla or almond extract or other sugar free flavored syrups. I eat Dannon Carb Control yogurt as it is sugar free and delish!!

Off to the market for your first South Beach Diet shopping spree? Having a list of necessities will prevent you from going over budget in the early days of the diet. Here are 10 must-have items for Phase 1: Eggs Vegetable juice cocktail or tomato juice Part-skim ricotta cheese Low-fat cheese sticks Olive oil Nuts (unsweetened) Salad greens Canned tuna fish (vegetarians can opt for beans or another protein source) Canadian bacon or lean deli meat (vegetarians can enjoy meat substitutes) No-sugar-added fudgesicles From a Daily Dish

I have a question about the phase 1 list of foods. I see where somethings are listed on how much you can eat a day and some are not. I am starting phase 1 next week and would like to know just how much I can eat? Do I need to count calories? I assume this isn't a free-for-all and I can just eat as much lean meat and vegies I want. Right?

zeraspride I know for me when DH and I first did Phase 1 (back in December 2003) I did not worry

Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Ohio Posts: 3,145 Gallery: zeraspride Stats: Highest 282.5 CW: 271 GW: 160 WOE: figuring it out Start Date: taking it one day at a time

about calorie intake one bit. I just ate until I had enough, enjoying three meals per day, 2 snacks and no sugar added fudgesicles for dessert. We stuck to a pretty basic diet (eggs and breakfast meat; salads with grilled chicken breast on top and grilled meat and veggies or a salad at dinner). I lost 14 pounds the first two weeks and was so pleased. I went on to lose 1-3 pounds per week every week for about six months and I even started mixing South Beach and Atkins together again not paying any attention to calories. It wasn't until I got within 10 pounds of my goal that my weight plateaued. So I would say that yes, if you are hungry eat something. Other than that, there is no reason to overeat but then again, this is just my experience. Hubby and I just completed Phase 1 again and I lost 8.5 pounds after re-gaining 29 pounds of the 109 pounds I originally lost. Again, not paying attention to calories and following a SBD/Atkins mix using lots of Linda Sue's recipes. I know I'll have to start watching my calories soon but I don't worry too much about calories during Phase 1. Maybe someone else has a different experience they would like to share.

I have a question about beans on phase 1. I have the 2004 book, which I guess is the original... it doesn't say anything about eating beans in it. I checked the updates thread and that doesn't say anything about eating beans, or beans being added. Am I missing something? Or can I eat a serving of beans a day

during phase one?

edit: I think I was confusing the vegeterian list with the non-vegeterian list!!!

Beans are fine in Phase 1, 1/3 to 1/2 c. servings. It's listed in the beans and legumes column. Hope that helps.

The food list really changed since I first got the book. This updated one is very helpful! I am a milk drinker, so this is a huge relief. First time around on SBD was rough because of the milk restriction.

Does fat free or low fat sour cream come into this diet anywhere? Ive been going over the list and im not finding it.

03-09-2007, 07:48 PM #24



Yes, those are acceptable. A good resource is The South Beach Good Fats, Good Carbs Guide It's a small paperback and lists many more foods than the lists in the book. Feel free to ask though.

How much do you lose usually on Phase I and Phase II of this diet in a week?

03-23-2007, 06:51 PM #26



Weight loss is so individual that it is impossible to predict a definite amount of loss. If you have been eating a standard American diet with lots of fast foods and processed foods, you might expect a greater loss than if you have been eating cleanly. At your current weight, I might expect 5 lbs or so the first week, which will be mostly water weight. Then maybe another 2-3 lbs in the second week IF you follow the plan as written, with no side trips. Phase 2 is for ongoing weight loss and you can expect about a pound a week IF you stay according to plan and exercise, of course. If you have been on Atkins for any length of time, I would expect a smaller initial loss. Hope this helps. __________________

Guess what, another question.

I am making stir fry. Chicken, broccolli, asparagus, snap peas, low-sodium soy sauce. Was wondering if I could put sugar-free pancake syrup in there for that stick togetherness?

I suppose you could, but it is not going to give the same results as using a cornstarch type sauce thickener. You will still have a wet juicy stirfry and not a "gravy" if that's what you're after. If you want something like a sweet/sour sauce, then it might work. We make stir fry by just cooking everything together, then adding a little soy sauce or whatever and it turns out fine for us. Hope this helps.

I noticed for phase 1 it said to avoid all fruits, but would something like strawberry yogurt count as that, or is it just like actual fruits? Cause I eat a yogurt by dannon for carb control and it's strawberry. I think they have vanilla yogurt but it's just not as good.
