Hello Friends!
I am still Carb-free, but I have been doing some research on how to best add carbs back into my diet. So far the best article I have found is on about.com. According to Laura Dolson, the author of an article entitled, "How to Do Phase Two of the South Beach Diet" the idea is to add one "high nutrient, high fiber, low glycemic" carb into your diet each week. She suggests having only one serving of your new carb each day. Every week you will add back a new carb and monitor how it affects your cravings for food and how it affects your weight.
I have decided that my daily carb for this week will be whole wheat pasta. I decided to go with pasta because I can extend a portion of pasta by using spaghetti squash. I have done this before and served it to my husband without telling him what I did. When I did, he didn't notice the difference! This will be a good way to ease in some carbs. I feel like this is a safe plan and I will be less likely to undo my hard work from overeating carbs.
Next week, depending on how this change affected my weight, I'll add in some fruit.
Now, I'm off to find some yummy things to put on top of my pasta-spaghetti squash mixture!
