I am never going to lose any weight…

by eating a whole can of nuts!

I started the South Beach Diet for 1 month before our vacation because I plan on eating like a pig while at Disney World next month. Yes, we got free dining, so how could I not indulge in every Rice Crispy Mickey, Dole Whip, and Schoobread that I can stuff into my face?

Its funny, but my husband and I plan these Disney trips around the food, and it isn’t coincidental that we are arriving the first day of the annual Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT…Life is really good for 7 days!

So back to the nuts. The South Beach Diet says you are not supposed to have carbs for 2 weeks (I am on day 5), but you can have nuts for a snack. Great. However, you are only limited to 15 nuts a day. Not so great.

The thing about nuts is I do not buy them very often. They can be pretty expensive if you gobble them up like I do. SO when the diet plan says I can have nuts, its the first thing I put in my shopping cart.

The bad thing is I just sat and ate the whole can of mixed nuts and now I feel pretty bad about cheating…but techinaclly I didn’t cheat because these nuts weren’t a “true” carb. At least that is what I am telling myself.

I guess if I do not lose any weight in the next month, I’ll know those nuts are to blame

Here are some pics of those yummy treats at Disney that I am looking forward to…
