South Beach Phase 1 day 8

Hi
Day 8.
Considering all the restrictions during phase one, i have been ok.

Some of the things that help
1. Rachel Rays five spice seasoned nut recipe. good with almonds, not good with pistachios.
2. crytal light sunrise: grapefruit and orange. The flavor is strong and realistic. No sugar, no carbs. the orange tastes like tang. The key to mixing it up. get 3 empty 24 oz sports bottles poland spring or deer park. pour 16 oz into each bottle.
in mixing bowl mix one whole packet of flavor powder with 24 oz of water. then pour 8 oz of concentrated mix/water into the remainder space on each bottle.
3. Don Pablos: on mon-thu theyhave all you can eat fajitas. drop the tortillas sour cream. and you have pretty good all you can eat steak. for 11.99
4. Wawa chicken breast sandwich. I order 2 sandwiches, and combine the breast, lettuce, tomate with texas pete hot sauce. and i also get a 2 pack of hard boiled eggs.
5. omlettes with cold cuts. scramble 1 egg. in another pan fry cold cuts.
fry egg, flip, drop on cold cuts, add slice of cheese. the egg is thin, but now you can make 2 omlettes. 2 seems more filling than one 2 egg omlette.

i think i lost about 4-5 lbs on the diet so far, but i dont see much reduction physically.

6 more days of this, then onto phase 2.
