Anyone who is or has done the South Beach Diet

What did you eat for snacks?  I'm so used to eating crackers and fruit.  I just started the diet today and I feel like I'm constantly hungry!

Thank you!

Turkey and cheese roll-ups, celery w/ peanut butter or Laughing Cow cheese...low-sugar sweets like sugar-free jello and sugar-free popsicles...

It depends which phase you're in though - that's for Phase I.  Phase III you can eat fruit.

pistachios, string cheese, there is a South Beach Planters nut mix that I ate as well. I'm trying to remember what else and drawing a blank...

ETA: forgot about the sugar free jello and the sugar free pudding. The pudding was like a godsend for my sweet tooth. I found out that I actually prefer the sugar free version much better than the reg ones anyway.

almonds, peanuts or low-fat cheese

spoon of natural peanut butter

sometimes sugar-free jello

Well I just couldn't do phase 1 completely and talked to my doc yesterday and she said to skip it.  So I have been having almonds (all phases) and a piece of fruit (phase 2 and 3 allow fruit).  String cheese, sugar free jello pudding are stand bys.  I am only 2 weeks in right now so I don't have a ton of ideas.  The book had a bunch for all phases that sounded good.  Oh celery and peanut butter or celery and laughing cow cheese.

Nuts, string cheese, and spoonfuls of peanut butter were my savior in the very beginning... oh, and sugar-free jello or popsicles for dessert.

peanut butter on celery sticks

carrots dipped in hummus

string cheese

cashews, pistachios, sunflower seeds

I agree the snacking was the hardest part of the diet.  The meals weren't too bad but I didn't feel satisfied from snacks.  I also chewed a ton of gum!!
