Question

If so, what do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Answer 1

useless ,

Answer 2

In Phase 1 (first 2 weeks), it is a little more challenging.

For breakfast, I had a couple eggs and some V8. You could make a ham and cheese or veggie omelete, also

For lunch, I'd usually have a chicken caeser salad or chicken salad with no-sugar vinaigrette.  Or you could make a soup with veggies, beans, and whatever lean cuts of meat you want.

Dinner was beef or pork tenderloin with fried zucchini or some green beans or the like.

I also made a lot of dishes with beans. You can make a good Italian casserole with mozzerella and a ton of different veggies -- just without the pasta.

Make sure you get your 2 cups of low-fat dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt, etc) and plenty of veggies.

I also snacked on walnuts, string cheese, or boiled eggs

Phase II is much easier. You can add whole wheat pasta and breads, brown rice, and fruit. I now have oatmeal with my breakfast and sandwiches for lunch (with whole wheat bread, of course)

Answer 3

I've followed the South Beach recommendations and lost weight.  It is safe and effective and will teach you about effects of food choices that should be part of a life-long thinking in maintaining your ideal weight once you reach that.
