I'm back up the 4 lbs. that I lost last week! So the sooner I get right back on track the better.
I suppose I should be relieved that the last few months my weight is only yo yoing up & down 4 lbs., instead of 40.

All's going well so far, feeling less bloated & no carb detox headache yet.
I even had enough energy to get 45 min. of exercise yesterday.

We usually grow our own but some years the raccoons eat it all even though we have an electric fence around the garden.

I love it too, grown fresh locally! Even though it's prohibited on SB, for some reason that I never understood. Especially since it has such a high fiber content, which you'd think should slow the absorption of the sugar in the carbs., compared to popcorn--that is permitted.

I use to love corn on the cob. But I have moved my thinking to the fact that it is all genetically modified unless you have heirloom seeds and grown your own. Been phasing out corn...not happy camper with Monsanto and the GMO crap. Blergh...

Glad to be getting back on the SB track with P1, after that long carby comfort food filled winter, and before the arrival of summer bathing suit weather & corn on the cob season.

I'm back to P1 starting tomorrow for a 10 day carb detox, after a two week vacation to celebrate my 54th birthday & 35th wedding anniversary. I thoroughly enjoyed over indulging, which resulted in me regaining 6 lbs. Although I was surprised by an unexpected TOM last week, after it had been missing for the previous two mos. - misleading me to assume I was finally entering menopause...again.

Congratulations on the head start and on the weight loss. It certainly helps to have the support of family members. My son and I went on phase one together and my hubby shortly joined us.

Portion size is basically how much you choose to eat while a serving size is a measurement of a specific amount. Serving size is often distorted to make the calories, fat gms, and sugar gms appear less. Such as a bagel is often more then one serving but people eat the entire thing as a portion. The same with English muffins, muffins, pot pies, etc. Most people eat the whole thing. You are meant to consume a serving size.

True but servings and portions are two different things. I am not sure how many servings of some things they want me to have. I can devide it based on my caloric need but I was just thinking that maybe I was missing something here. It seems strange that a diet book wouldn't tell you how much of something to have i guess.

Basically when you make up a recipe, they assume you "divide it up into individual servings. So if it says 8, theoretically you would put down 8 plates and divvy it up. Not feasible of course. Now some recipes will tell you that there is 8 1Cup servings - which honestly is how all should be. On packages they will give you ounce or gram weight for the serving size. A scale is a wonderful thing.

A serving is generally the same for everyone as it is based on a serving for adults. You would eat a serving. If you are not satisfied then wait 20 minutes and see if you still aren't. Drink some water in the meantime to make sure that your hunger is not actually thirst. Unless you are very active and then this may not be accurate. You can usually get a calorie range from sparkpeople and divide that amount among meals and snacks to see how much you should consume at every meal. For instance on a 2000 calorie diet, you could have 500 for 3 meals and 250 for 2 snacks. The calories add up fast if you get your 1/2 cup beans in, your 4.5 cups of veggies, 2 low fat dairies, your servings of protein, your serving of healthy fats, and your snacks.

Most likely this is a stupid question but I just got the Reved up South Beach book and am starting phase one. However, I can't find how much of each recipe I am supposed to eat. Like the breakfast tells me how to make it and even how many servings it will make but I can't find where it says how many servings I should eat. Can anyone help?

Hi! I know what you mean. I've drifted away from SB a little bit here and there since I started in December and I always feel better coming back. I'm on Phase 1.5 at the moment...I'm very careful throughout the day and I have no grains with dinner. It's tough to find what works and what doesn't when reintroducing grains and other starches. Welcome back to the Beach! Best of luck to you!

Hi everyone! Today is day 4 of Phase 1. This is my second go-round with SBD, don't know why I ever drifted away from it. This is definitely the way I need to eat! I've lost about 15 lbs trying to go vegan, but I just can't sustain it. However, most of my meals are still meatless (lots of beans and tofu) and I will continue to avoid almost all cheese (it makes me crave-ish).
Love the Beach!
If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up!
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

actually don't get me started on mustard- I like the English kind best- Colmans and we were going broke getting those little jars. The jars are great to make small batches of dressing in. The mustard thing is a family trait as we all used to think of food as a carrier for mustard....and that was the cheap yellow kind growing up so when I discovered that and Grey poupon! To this day my siblings and I still have t have it at cookouts. So much sodium though that I had to break up with it and start paying more attention my second love

Hi all...I'm back on Phase 1 after a month of what I'm calling "Phase 2.5"...which is Phase 2 with too many treats!! Thankfully, I didn't have a big backslide in terms of weight gain, but now I'm pretty far off target in terms of reaching my goal. A week on P1 should get me a bit closer. I hope you're all doing well and staying on track.

I am down 2. Right now I am still eating thru leftovers - fruit salad (apples, grapes, strawberries, pecans with a greek yogurt/lf cream cheese dressing) so basically eating this as a dessert, and baked beans which are fine for any phase. I think for me it has been more the social events and happy hour temptations that add up. I am going out Saturday but already scoped out the place we are eating. Just need to keep on track!

I agree about the carrots. Dr. A changed his mind about them. They aren't high on the glycemic load. And anyone who has eaten many carrots knows that the amount of natural sugar in them varies a lot.

After 2 days of doing P1 for the most part, I'm down a pound from the 5 that I had regained with all my over indulging during Easter weekend.
The reason I'm not doing P1 100%, is I still have a huge pot of vegetable soup that has carrots in it left over, and I'm finishing that up this week. In the grand scheme of offensive carbs for me...carrots are no biggie. Especially compared to all the Lindt's chocolate truffle easter eggs that I had been consuming.
I decided that if by Sat. I'm still retaining some of the 5 lbs., then I'll start doing a strict P1.

I have a lot of events from mid May to mid June and have to watch it.

Glad for the company! In two weeks, I'm going on vacation to celebrate my 54th birthday and 35th wedding anniversary. It's usually the time of year between Easter & Memorial Day, that I re-gain the 10 lbs. that I lost in the new year after Christmas! Then it takes me all summer & fall to lose it again...just in time for Christmas to roll around. It's been five years, since the last time I was only a few pounds shy of my goal weight on Mother's Day.
I'm hoping this year to stop the roller coaster ride on the scale from going so high, since I've started cycling my calories and carbs. more regularly.

I am doing some fine tuning as well. Nothing major, just trying to get more exercise in.

You are so right. It really helps all the things you mentioned. It also really helps hypertension.

I'm starting Phase 1 this weekend, need to go grocery shopping first. One of my teammates on another sparkteam said it realy l helps with the cravings. I have used it in the past but along time ago when I was doing sbd hardcore. Ned to get back to it again, I know when I do it, it works. Bad cholesterol goes way down without medication and diabetes meds are drastically reduced.

Congratulations! You did amazing!! I was looking forward to fruit again after phase one too. I think it helped me to discern my food priorities. I didn't miss the starches much at all. It was a surprise for me. Enjoy your apple.

Today I get to begin phase 1.5! I'm SO excited for my granny smith apple at lunch today! Is it sad that that is what I have missed the most? lol I'm also pumped because I finished week 2 with high success losing another 9 lbs! It feels good b/c although I've tried, I've been stuck at a plateau for quite sometime, it feels so good to know I've lost 16 lbs in the past 2 weeks! I know it's going to slow down now, but I know I can keep it going down! :)
