South Beach Diet Meal Plans
Meal plans are a great thing. Theyre convenient, easy, mindless all helpful qualities for someone who is trying to fit in healthy eating with a busy life. But, they can be too much of a good thing. If you are too attached to meal plans, you could be doing yourself more harm than good.
The South Beach Diet is built for flexibility and convenience. That is why there is no weighing and measuring of portions or rigid guidelines around what and when to eat. Instead, the diet aims to teach you about nutrition and give you the tools to choose healthy options in the right portions. That is also why there are three different phases. The first two are designed for weight loss. By Phase 3 (maintenance), you are expected to be familiar enough with the guidelines of the diet to make your own decisions and do without a food list.
If thats the premise behind the South Beach Diet, why provide meal plans at all? Well, meal plans can be very instructional for beachers that are just starting out or looking for new ideas. Sometimes, too much flexibility can lead to confusion. The meal plans are an easy way to illustrate a day in the life of a beacher and provide guidance when needed.
So, when should I use meal plans?
If you are just starting out, sticking to a meal plan can be a great way to get familiar with the principles of the South Beach Diet. If you have been on it for a while and are looking for new ideas, meal plans can offer you new options. Stalled weight loss is also another good reason to stick to a meal plan for a while. It could bring your attention to when and how you are indulging and what changes you need to make.
When should I stop using meal plans?
Stop using meal plans if you are bored or if you find yourself eating meals just because they are listed on the meal plan. We want you to enjoy being on the program. If you find yourself avoid social outings or eating foods youre not too crazy about, take a step back. If you still feel the need for the meal plans structure, make sure to substitute items you like for items you dont. Boredom is your number one enemy on this plan.
Overall, meal plans can be an excellent tool. Just make sure you use them in a way that benefits you.

Where Are All the Used Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls and Are They Worth It?
Golfers can not get enough used Pro V1 Golf Balls. As soon as we receive a shipment of used Pro V1s, they are gone within a couple of days. I will be the first to admit, I am not a golf ball expert. However, I am curious and motivated to find out why we cant keep a large supply of used Pro V1 golf balls and whether or not there are golf balls that are just as good. According to Titleist, Pro V1s (MSRP $58) have:
new, staggered wave parting line - longer distance from enhanced ball flight
new, higher coverage 392 dimple design - penetrating trajectory for long, consistent distance
new, A.I.M. (Alignment Integrated Marking) sidestamp - integrated alignment guide for improved putting alignment
Longer driver distance
Soft compression for outstanding feel
Drop-And-Stop control
The most durable of all Titleist Tour-played golf balls
So, what else have I found out about used Pro V1s? 1. Why are used Pro V1s in such demand at $24 to $29 a dozen?The answer to this one was easy if I thought about it. Titleist Pro V1s are the #1 ball used on the PGA Tour. The Pro V1 is the most preferred ball by lower handicap players. It makes complete sense that these balls are found less often in water or lost in the woods. The PGA Tour player and other experienced golfers are less likely to loose the ball. 2.
Are Pro V1s really THAT good?I am sure that this question will stir up a huge debate, but I thought it was important to cover. Bottom line, yes they are a fantastic high performance ball. It was very hard to find anyone that did not feel the Pro V1 was the best ball on the market. If you are looking for a ball with great feel and accuracy, the Pro V1 is it. However, I do need to add, there are other soft balls that are very good. I can not really say other balls are actually better because it is really based on personal preference. Some simply feel more confident using a Titleist ball. This is where the Titleist brand name comes into play. Titleist is known to make some of the best golf balls. Golfers have been using Titleist for years. Brand loyalty and comfort using the same brand goes a long way. 3. If I can not find any used Titleist Pro V1s, what should I use?When this question was asked, most would add, but they are not as good as the Pro V1s. Keeping that in mind, feel free to try these performance balls around $10 to $20 used ($20 to $40 new):
Nike One Black
Nike One Platinum
Callaway HX Tour
