Hello all! I'm trying to get back on track with my healthy eating habits and thought I would share something I found recently.

I purchased the South Beach Quick and Easy cookbook and it has tons of recipes for high protein, low carb meals. I know we aren't suppose to be "dieting" but it's just a cookbook that follows similar principles and has delicious recipes.

I had shrimp stir fry last night and one serving has 38 grams of protein (but I cut that in half because one serving is 2 cups). Hope this helps those of you who struggle to get in protein.

I also love the Atkins shakes for those of you who GAG when you drink traditional protein shake. Good luck! :confused:

I love south beach. I don't think of it as a "diet" but a way of healthy eating. Getting the "right" carbs and the "right" fats.

I got it on Amazon. It's amazing! And yes, they have a whole section of veggie entrees, as well as seafood, poultry, desserts, appetizers, etc. I HIGHLY recommend it. :confused:

South Beach is a good supplement to your cookbook stash. I've been using a variety of cookbooks to find some good low cal meals for my family. I also ordered a subscription to Cooking Light magazine. I found a South Beach cookbook at my local Half-Price Bookstore, so you might want to check there!

Same here, it is a lifestyle change. My Doc. said to try it before banding to get the family on board with healthy eating and to see what life after the band would be like. DH lost all of his excess weight in 6 months, DD lost about half of what she needs to lose--I give her more dairy since she is 14, plus I don't know what she eats when she is not home! I lost too, but have a much better handle on what is good and what is not so much!

Tons of great chicken and veggie recipes.

I need something to help with my protein. As you can see my ticker does hardly move.
