20 South Beach Diet Slow Cooker Recipes (3)

Many readers know that I started my carb-conscious eating journey (back in 2004) following the original South Beach Diet. In those days I was a teacher, and I would make SBD friendly food on the weekend to take for lunch during the week. And this collection of 20 South Beach Diet Slow Cooker Recipeswere some of my favorites back in the day, and all these tasty recipes are suitable for Phase One!

I can tell by my stats that some fans of the original South Beach Diet go back to Phase One recipes in January, and I still think making food on the weekend to eat some now and some later is a great strategy. That’s why I created a new category called Weekend Food Prep and when I’m doing food prep I’ll definitely be making food in the CrockPot to eat during the week.

And many of these recipes are things I still make even though I’m now retired from teaching and working at home on this website. I hope people who are still South Beach Diet fans will enjoy the recipes!

    Thank you so much for these Phase 1 recipes. I work a lot and am trying to lose weight and so far, I have lost 7 lbs on Phase 1. Overall, I’m happy with what I’ve been eating but I miss things like soup, chili and pot roast. Your recipes look fantastic and the fact that they are phase 1 compatible is great. I’m thinking some chili will be coming this weekend.

      Hi Annette,
      I hope the recipes will be helpful for you. And thanks for making me realize that quite a few of these posts have updated photos, so I have updated them in this round-up! Hope you enjoy!

    This post is soo helpful! I'm not a SBD follower, but I do try to eat high protein, low carb, clean meals most of the time, which is why I love your recipes. I'm also in love with the crockpot. So thanks!

    I generally hate the concept of using the crock pot, but these lettuce wraps sound tasty. Thanks for the idea. You may have made a believer out of me!

    Even though I'm not following SBD per se, I do like to eat low glycemic meals whenever possible. What I love about this round-up of recipes is the variety of flavor profiles that really shows off the versatility of slow cooker cooking. I'm still fairly new to slow cookers, and often find inspiration in the recipes you make.

    If I had to cook every day there's no way I'd be able to eat healthy! Leftovers are KEY. This is such a great roundup!
