What's for Dinner?

Week 2 of Phase 1 for the South Beach Diets leads us to still eating lean meats with white and green veggies. Week 1 is the toughest because you are trying to get over that sugar craving which is definitely tough. This week though I'm trying a couple new recipes and converting a few favorites to get a little variety in our meals. Typically Phase 1 should show results of 8-14 lbs of weight loss in the first two weeks. Over the past week I've been able to lose 6 lbs and that was with one night of indulging in Indian curries and desserts at a friend's house.

Dinners:

• Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche, steamed tender-stem broccoli
• Ham Balls, broccoli and cauliflower with cheese
• Red Roast Pork with Peppers (substitute sugar with Splenda)
• Baked Cod with Creamy Dill Sauce, roasted asparagus
• Garlic Lime Chicken
• Grilled Sirloin Steaks with sauteed mushrooms and green beans
• Crustless Broccoli and Ham Quiche

Breakfasts:

• Scrambled eggs with Canadian bacon or back bacon
• Omelets with onion, cheese, ham, and peppers

Lunches:

• Lettuce salads with cucumber and 1/2 tomato cut up, Italian dressing
• Oriental cabbage salad with chicken (use splenda instead of sugar and reduce Ramen noodles in half)
• Chicken salad on lettuce or cabbage

Snacks (3 snacks a day):

• Deviled eggs (heavier on mustard than mayo)
• 15 cashews or 20 dry roasted peanuts
• 1 mozzarella cheese stick
• 2 Tbsp natural no-sugar added peanut butter
• sugar free Jello
• turkey or ham slices with Red Leicester cheese rolled up inside
• Light and Easy Creamy Dessert
• South Beach Peanut Butter Cookies
• Healthy No-Bake Cheesecake
