I’ve created a Pinterest board for bloggers to post their Paleo, Gluten-Free, or Grain-Free recipe ideas!įollow Rachel Holland ’s board Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, OR Paleo Recipes! on Pinterest.Īlso, here are a few “Grain-Free” recipes that we’ve added to our site that will work on the South Beach Diet Phase 1: If you need recipe inspiration, then looking for recipes that are Paleo, Gluten-Free, or Grain-Free can be helpful for finding great-tasting Phase 1 recipes. Those pretty much go with everything so you can just add on from there. I don’t think I ate much of anything without AT LEAST garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and a little salt. While your diet is pretty restricted on Phase 1, you can pretty much use as much and as many spices as you would like! The food on its own can be pretty bland and spices really do make all the difference in the world. I have no idea why, but it’s worth a shot! Use lots of spices. I’ve been doing that and it DEFINITELY helps!Īlso, in order to help myself to drink more water, I’ve been putting a little lemon juice and stevia in my water and it has really helped with my desire to drink more. I was lamenting on Facebook about how much I was craving carbs during the beginning of Phase 1 and one of y’all suggested for me to drink a big glass of water every time I had a carb craving. □īut instead of buying the tiny bag for $3.25, you can buy a bag of dried Garbanzo Beans and grind it into flour yourself using a strong blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec) or a food processor. And after my oldest daughter ate the burgers she said “Mom, these are the best hamburger patties EVER!” Yep, garbanzo bean flour was my secret ingredient. You can also use the flour to make Hummus, as well as a filler for hamburgers (I always put in some type of “filler” like oatmeal or panko bread crumbs to make it go a little farther). I used the Garbanzo Bean flour to make homemade Falafels and OH MY… seriously one of the best things I’ve eaten! (Okay, maybe my judgement is a little clouded since I haven’t had ANYTHING sweet in 3 weeks, but it sure tastes heavenly when you’re on Phase 1 of South Beach!) I’ll be sure to post the recipe and pictures within the next couple of days! You can also get it on Amazon for a wide range of prices (it fluctuates pretty often) Anything with the word “flour” in it sounded amazing and the Garbanzo Bean Flour was the least expensive of the flours that I could have. In a moment of weakness during week 1 while shopping at our local Sunflower Farmers Market (now Sprouts) and I grabbed a fairly tiny bag of Garbanzo Bean Flour for around $3.25. I have found my new favorite food! Okay, maybe not my FAVORITE food, but Garbanzo beans are a new staple in our house. I know lots of you guys have let me know that you are also going through South Beach, or you are about to start, so I wanted to repost this article to share some of the things that I found helpful in making it through Phase 1. I posted last year how one of my New Year’s goals for 2012 was to break my sugar/carb addiction and how I used Phase 1 of the South Beach diet to jump-start it! I’m very glad I did it, but I was definitely thankful to be out of phase 1. Just in case anyone was wondering, going two weeks on South Beach Diet Phase 1 is HARD! You pretty much can’t have any sugar, any breads or pastas, any fruit, or any starchy vegetables.
