So far, so good. On day four of phase one, and I really don't miss bread as much as I thought that I would. I need to buy a scale so I can track my progress - for now I think I'm just gonna go on how my clothes fit me.

I've only strayed once, and ate like, 45 peanuts instead of the recommended 15. It was really hard for me to find unsalted peanuts! Aldi has been my saving grace for buying food, but I have been getting pretty redundant with my meals. Soo...I'm gonna have to learn some recipes.

Oh, and the no caffeine thing: is that absolutely essential? I've definitely had about a can of Diet Coke a day. I'm alright with the low-carb stuff and the no alcohol - but I definitely require caffeine.

My boyfriend was talking to one of his coworkers about South Beach and they told him that it gives you some digestive issues (I won't mention what they called it because it was gross) - has anyone else heard / experienced that? That makes me kinda nervous.

Sounds like you're doing really well. If 45 peanuts is all you've done wrong, you'll be fine! If you Google caffeine and weight loss you will find many contradictory articles about caffeine and losing weight. This one http://mayoclinic. com/health/caffeine/HQ00369 actually says it may help you lose weight. Either way, I do not like the side affects that caffeine gives me so I rarely have it. You may experience some problems with constipation on this diet. If so, increase your fiber intake and that should help. It gets better on phase II when you add whole grains and fruit. You might want to take a fiber supplement while you're on phase I. Best wishes!
