Bake at 450 degrees F until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
Phase 1: The Strict Phase
For the first two weeks, you’ll eat normal-size helpings of meat, fish, vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You’ll have three meals a day, plus snacks, and it will be your job to eat until your hunger is satisfied. You’ll shed somewhere between 8 and 13 pounds—mostly in your belly area—and your cravings for sugars and starches will disappear.
