What's for Dinner?

After two weeks in Phase 1 and 8 pounds lighter, I'm ready to dive into Phase 2 of the South Beach diet. Now I am able to slowly reintroduce fruits, some more veggies, and whole grains into our meals and snacks. By bringing some carbs back into our diet the weight loss will slow down to 1-2 pounds per week, but this is more of a natural way amount to lose weight and will continue to "train" us for more healthier eating.

Breakfasts: (combination of two)

• Slice of wholemeal toast
• Fresh sliced strawberries, sliced melon or other approved fruit
• Wholemeal muffin or wholemeal zucchini muffin
