Day 1: SBD

So I've finished my first day of the South Beach Diet.  It started off fine. I felt energized - woke up early, ate breakfast, walked to the BART station to catch the shuttle to work, and got there not too late.

I had a snack of cashews at 10:30 and lunch at noon.  Then the afternoon came and that's when I started to feel hungry. So I had my afternoon snack. And then I was hungry again, and had another snack. Dinner of chicken and roasted vegetables was fine, but I got kind of sick of it after a while. Finally, I just had a sugar-free popsicle, and a popsicle has never tasted so good!  I was totally craving sugar - or sugar-like substance.

So that is the tough part for me anyway - cutting all the sugar. I have a huge sweet tooth.  Sometimes they're even all I can stomach. But not for the next two weeks. And what's also hard for me is the portions. I don't really find that they satisfy my hunger. But maybe I can get used to that too. Let's hope. Oh, yeah, and I might have one more little snack. :D
