Based on that super yummy chocolate cheese cake recipe you posted from the cook books I ordered all 4 off the website last night!!:lol:

The roasted chickpeas from the original SBD cookbook are really good & easy to make. They turn out nice & crunchy too & I put a little garlic powder or cayenne pepper for added flavor.

It looks like they fixed the recipe thing & I was able to post my banana muffin recipe & my s/f tomato sauce recipe as well!!! Hooray!!

I have been trying & trying to post recipes on this site with zero luck. I've contacted the folks who run the site & they were very kind & sent me instructions & even offered to post the recipes for me. I just want to do it myself & it makes me nuts that I cannot get it to work. Am I just a complete idiot or is anyone else out there having the same problem?!:?

You are so sweet to post this!!! I've been craving Wonton soup but of course that would be a bad bad thing to have. I bet if I make this & add in some Chinese hot mustard I could "trick" my taste buds!!

I noticed the same thing about the SBD cereals & that is why I switched to Kashi brand or Uncle Sam.

I think there may be a chat room feature somewhere on here already. If there is not you can suggest to the developers of this site to add that kind of feature onto here.

I just took out a Rachael Ray cook book from the library & she has a spinach salad recipe in there with diced up chicken breast. The dressing is made with 2T extra virgin olive oil, 2T Dijon mustard, 2 chopped up cloves of garlic, some capers, & salt & black pepper to taste. It sounded very yummy to me. Of course it's not sweet though. I love the hot bacon dressing myself but have not found a SBD friendly recipe.

Canadian bacon is o.k. on the diet & has a lot less fat & calories than sausage.

Does anyone know when the show starts back up again?

I am pretty sensitive to breads & pasta too. I find if I eat a little I wind up craving more. I also found when I started Phase 2 that I could not eat whole grain cereal alone for breakfast. I have to eat a protein with it like canadian bacon in order to stay full.

:) Thanks for looking at my food log & thanks for the encouragement!!!

I am on my second week of Phase 1. The first week I lost 3 lbs. My official weigh in is on Sunday but I have been weighing myself daily & I have not lost a single pound this week. I am following the diet very closely so I cannot understand what's going on. I'm also walking 30 to 40 mins everyday. The only thing I've done differently this week is to take fiber supplements...could that be stalling my weight loss? I log everything I eat...would you all mind looking at it & see if you see anything that I'm doing wrong. Honestly I have 3 South beach books & I've read them cover to cover...I'm so fustrated!!!!:?

I've been eating lean meats with cheese & celery for brakfast. I hope that works. All I know is it sure does keep me full the entire morning!!!

:?: I cannot eat eggs. i tried to this morning & I just can't stomach them. I am on Phase 1 of the diet. I ate some low fat turkey & reduced fat swiss cheese for breakfast this morning. I hope I am not sabbotaging (spelling?) my efforts already!!

Hi Everyone, I am a 38 year old stay at home Mom of a wild & crazy 3 year old boy. This past year has been a crazy one...I was laid off from my job of 14 years & I've been wracked with health problems. The latest being super high cholesterol & triglycerides. I am hopeful though that with a combination of walking 2 miles everyday & South beach diet I will get my health & hopefully my body back!!! I am looking to lose approx 30 lbs.

Hummus is allowed in Phase 1
