If you’re not used to eating the simpler foods presented on the South Beach Allowed Foods list, it can be overwhelming to start cooking with them. That’s why so many people have adopted cookbooks released specifically to help people make South Beach Diet meals from those lists.
Still, it is not necessary that you sit quietly and lament that it is your destiny to die of hunger. With a little thought, you can make meals similar to what you already eat.
Although there are some things you just can’t eat on a healthier plan, that doesn’t mean you can’t replace them with delicious alternatives that will be just as satisfying. For example, instead of a giant double cheeseburger with a ton of grease, you can opt for a turkey burger. It can also be served on whole grain bread with spices if you have reached step two.
Don’t view food lists as restrictions and don’t think in terms of simple combinations of the basic foods listed. Use the lists for inspiration to see what unique combinations of those foods can be made. You should eat wholesome food that satisfies your hunger and mental satiety.
Let’s take a look at some ideas for making totally approved South Beach Diet meals from rejected inspirations.
Do you fancy eating mashed potatoes with your meat and vegetables? Just thoroughly mash cauliflower, which mimics the consistency and original flavor of this old favorite. You can also add some low fat paneer to it for extra flavour.
Once you get to the second stage, your options increase significantly. Try breading chicken breasts in whole grain bread crumbs and egg yolks for a deliciously approved “fried” chicken sandwich.
South Beach Diet meals may take a little thought at first, but you can get some great ideas from other followers with the large number of unique recipes posted online every day.
