August 19th marked 1 month since I began South Beach. I thought I would write an update to let everyone know how it’s going.
The number 1 difference is that I NOW FEEL FULL after eating!!! It still amazes me that I can eat ¾ of a meal and push the rest away (not out of willpower or guilt) but because I truly don’t care to eat another bite. AMAZING!
What I’m eating has drastically changed. All sugar, potatoes, corn, crackers, chips, white flour, and white bread are gone.
I now eat more meat, beans, reduced fat cheese and milk, nuts, whole wheat bread/crackers, whole wheat pasta, splenda, and vegetables. Gosh, that sounds so healthy!!!
I just added the first piece of fruit back yesterday. I have to be careful because even the natural sugar fructose messes with my system. I’m adding fruit back very slowly and monitoring to see if it causes sweet cravings.
As far as exercise goes, I haven’t done any intentionally this month. My mind and energy is focused on our eating plan, and I’m waiting until my body lets me know it’s ready to go out and exercise. I know it will come.
Weight: I’ve lost 10lbs total. My clothes aren’t as tight! I’m happy with these results.
Thanks for reading! I’ll be sharing new tips and ideas soon.
