What are your fav. South Beach foods in Phase 1?

Today the Dr. suggested I at least try the 2 weeks of Phase 1 and I'm just wondering what some of your favorite things to eat were? I really hate meat except for turkey or chicken breast. I see myself eating omelets every meal, ha ha! I do like salads though.

I ate pretty much 'normal' dinners, except no (or low) carbs. So I'd still have steak and veggies or chicken w/a side salad, but no rice, pasta, bread, potato, or dessert (in the purge period). After the purge, the carbs I DID add back I made sure they were hi-fiber. So now, when we have a pasta night, I make sure it's whole wheat pasta, which I'm actually liking the taste of better than that bleached-bland white stuff anyway.

Also discovered that I never really liked rice in the first place.

I just LOVED the snack things you could eat a lot of but still net very few carbos: Almonds, beef jerky, lo-fat cheese stix, pistachios.......

Day 2....I'm getting the hang of it!!! String cheese is my favorite. Going to eat some SF Jello tonight. My 2 slices of turkey bacon were soooooo good this morning. I haven't had bacon in years!!!

That's the ticket!!! One day at a time. You're already 2 down; 12 to go w/the purge -- two days ahead of anyone else who didn't start anything.......
