Hi again,
It’s been awhile. I keep flipping between SB and vegan and raw and vegetarian trying to help my tummy. I’ve come to the conclusion I need to eat at least 2/3 of my diet in liquid form and I’d like to do it on the beach. I’m looking for and ideas that are SB friendly (any phase). Smoothies, soups, desserts. Any tips? I did look thru the recipes above.
Thanks!
I haven’t been here for a long while, but I want to pop in and say, "Hello!" If you’re a newbie, please – stick with this WOL. The reward is priceless. It started very slowly for me, and I hit a few roadblocks, but I reached my goal. It wasn’t overnight, but the end result was worth all the hard work. The first month was horrible, but each month was better than the previous, and now – it’s an automatic WOL.
Anyway, I just wanted to encourage anyone, who may be struggling, and send out a shout-out to some of the vets!!
Hi everyone,
I am on day 3 and have a few questions.
I ordered my book already, but in the meantime I need some guidance. 
—————————–
1) Are we allowed to use whey protein powder on SBD? Phase 1? 2? 3?
I use Designer Whey in French Vanilla.
1 scoop = 100 calories, 2g fat, 1g saturated, 55mg cholesterol, 3g carbohydrates, 0g fiber, 2g sugar, 18g protein.
Would that be OK for phase 1?
I would add a scoop with a tablespoon of PB & 8 oz of Hood calorie countdown milk.
2) For phase 1, can I make my own meal plan based on the food list, or do I have to stick to the preset meal plan of protein, 2 cups veggies, 1 T fat?
3) Is there a limit on the number of fat grams we can have each day? or how many grams per meal?
4) On the phase 1 food list theres a section for "other fat choices" as shown below. Are those type of fats limited? I see serving sizes listed next to them. How should I use those type of fats? 1 a day? Or? 
Other Fat Choices:
Avocado – 1/3 whole = 1 TBS oil
Guacamole – 1/2 cup = 1 TBS oil
Margarine – Chose those that do not contain Trans Fatty Acids such as Fleishmann’s Premium Olive Oil or Smart Balance
Mayonnaise – Regular – 1 TBS
Mayonnaise – Low Fat – 2 TBS (avoid varieties made with high fructose corn syrup)
Olives (Green or Ripe) 15 = 1/2 TBS oil
Salad Dressing – 2 TBS. Use those that contain 3 grams of sugar or less per 2 TBS. Best choices contain canola or olive oil. Low carb salad dressings may also be used if they meet these guidelines.
Does anyone have suggestions on a good yogurt for Phase 2? Dannon Light & Fit? I am trying to get a little variety.
Thanks

I’m brand new to this site – but had to share -
After reading about the crispy microwaved pepperoni – I thought, hey why not try this with deli sliced sandwich meats – I just tried it with chicken. The "land o frost" roasted chicken from Costco that has one gram of carb for every eight slices. I wrapped two slices in a paper towel, nuked them for 30 secs then turned them over and did another 30 seconds. Crispy, golden deliciousness!! Served them with a dip made from lowfat yogurt, lowfat sour cream and salsa.
YUM!!
