I tried doing the South Beach Diet last week and by Friday night I bailed. I had a fun, splurgey weekend and thought I’d try again this morning. No such luck. I love my fruits, whole grains, cereal, and snacks way too much. I did, however, make a great dinner menu for the week and still plan on following it. I know that I was always looking for ideas and menus so I thought I’d post this in case anyone was searching.

Sunday: (turkey)sausage with onions and peppers, mashed cauliflower, salad

Monday: steak, mashed cauliflower with cilantro and cheddar cheese, caesar salad

Tuesday: shrimp, black beans, avocado and tomato salad

Wednesday: turkey chili, salad

Thursday: tilapia, caesar salad, broccoli

Friday: steak, zucchini and yellow squash saute, tomato and mozzarella salad

Saturday: salmon, edamame salad, mashed cauliflower

Oh and a fabulous Phase 1 dessert idea:

Take one “no sugar added” fudgsicle and scrape it all off the stick into a bowl. Add some peanut butter. Mix together and eat like ice cream. It is ridiculously delicious. Tastes like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup!!
