Broasted chicken is like deep fried. A term used from were I live in WI. I truly appreciate all feedback and am loving the discussion. But like one said everyone has a trigger or "RED" food. I just find it interesting what people have and how they overcome it. Just a clarification I do NOT cut carbs out completely, I still…

I go to the website and look up their calorie values on there, then I check MFP. So far my restaurant menu items I have picked have been the same as MFP. Yes, it depends on the cook making your food, so for me when I know I will have one of these days I do a little more cardio and not use all the calories. Figure it washes…

I'm a habitual eater. Let's start with: I don't follow the plan exactly. Ok, now knowing that I cut out a lot of junk including soda. I started Jan. 1 just on SB and plateaued around a lost of 20 to 25 lbs. I now added exercise, I go to planet fitness and try to do minimum of 30 min cardio and a good portion of weight…

Where can I find them, would love to join. Since that is my major guideline for keeping me on tract. The red food question came from my days at weight watchers. I liked the group but didn't because I was constantly thinking about food. I don't do that on the South Beach Diet. I can walk past my husband eating a HUGE bowl…

I stayed on for a month just because after 2 weeks it seemed easy for me. But, I was not as strict as the diet suggest. I did many of the rules but did not follow to the T. Even now I use it as a guideline. The first week I followed exactly. Hope that helps with your confusion. I have tried many ways to lose, pills,…

I use to try all kinds of appetite suppressant meds. I even was on Phenfen. Now I am fighting AFIB. I haven't taken any of these for years. Like easily 10. But, when I was taking them that is when my AFIB started, my heart just corrected itself. Now it won't. When I went to see my doc about it the first thing she asked is,…

By the way doing phase one of the South Beach Diet helped me immensely to NOT have the desire for these types of foods. I can easily now walk away and not eat Ice cream, milk chocolate, soda, fried foods, bread so forth. I do eat them occasionally but it is rare. I just had a klondike caramel pretzel ice cream bar. Will I…

I did not follow phase one exactly, I use it as I do now as a guideline. But, I did follow it to the point of NOT eating or drinking junk or crap foods. Red foods are foods you can't stop eating, foods that are high in calories. I learned this term when I was in weight watchers. At the time I said the same thing all foods…

hmmmm very interesting comments. yes your probably right I can't stop eating these type of foods that's why for me they are a RED food. I need to stay away because I can't control myself around them. Can't wait to read more of what you all have to say.

Mike my WHY is: I have been losing and gaining weight my whole life. Tried almost every diet drug out there. But 2 years ago my mom gave up on living and gained the most weight in her life. She was to have stints put in and more or less died on the table. Her heart was working less than 33%. She had diabetes, strokes,…

I am originally from WI and there I had a medical issue and went to see a doctor about it. She walked in took one look at me and said you are totally obese and that is your problem. And turned and walked out. My new and regular doctor was blunt but not that bad. I would like to see you at 160lbs your height and weight…
