Is this really bad cheating on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet?
I made a south beach diet recipe, Egg Muffins. But i have little money to splurge on some low fat/ non fat items. So I used a tablespoon 2 percent milk, and a tiny bit of Medium Cheddar cheese shredded and diced onions.
Should I throw out the rest of the muffins? Or is this a tiny cheat I shouldn’t worry about and move on?
I hate to be petty but bad apples spoil my opinion – that is, you may be ok cheating a little, but so many people dress up what they consider an acceptable cheat – a girl I saw on TV was on atkins but kept eating fruit saying "well whoever said that fruit makes you fat, I dont care what they say" – when it was a STUPI STUPID idea since it interupts ketosis (the process of using fat as a primary fuel source since carbs/sugars are unavoidable.
So, with the above rant in mind, if you do not do what they say, do not say "I am on the south beach diet", you are not, you are on a broken version of it, that may, or may not, work.
So – I know this answer may make you roll your eyes and say "err, answer the question" but my point is, stuff impacts more than people know, the diets are designed with will power in mind, but they are also designed with carb/fat/protein in levels in mind – regularly altering these even slightly will likely have effects on the diet. So with that considered, I would throw away the muffins 🙁
No, move on. You are using tiny amounts and it doesn’t really make a difference. Next time buy 1% milk and reduced fat cheese.
