Dieting

Daniel and I decided that this would be a perfect time to start out right. Eating right, that is. Since our fridge and cupboards were empty, it would be the perfect time to fill them with good food. We also decided to start the South Beach Diet. It is seriously the best diet we have ever been on. The weight is just melting off.

There are 3 phases in the diet. In the first phase, no fruit, sugars and carbs. Only low fat diary, lean meats, eggs, and veggies. It was different at first, but once we got the hang of it, we really became creative. And I made some fantastic discoveries.

Who said your salad has to have boring dressing? We were excited to find that we can still have our favorite dressings, because they come in 'fat free'.

We found this juice that is sugar free and 0 calories, unlike Crystal Lite which has 5 calories. And the wonderful sugar free Jello, at only 10 calories.

But the best discovery of all, is the sugar free Fudgsicles. Oh my goodness!! It's like heaven on a stick. When you are sugar deprived, you have no idea how good it tastes!

We have been following this eating plan for 4 weeks now, and still going strong. Lets just pray that we can continue to hold strong!!
