Okay this diet totally works! It's hard, no doubt, and you get frustrated of eating beans but can I tell you how great it feels to see the results. Today is my last day of Phase I and I'm now at 201!! I can't wait until I'm under 200..
So my question for all the Smashing experts out there.. does the weight loss continue like this in Phase II?
The loss will probably slow a little. It is a strict program so stick to it if you want to continue to see results. There will come a point when your body needs to adjust to the loss.
I can tell you, by comparison, that I started the diet on Feb 5. I lost 11 lbs by the end of phase I. This morning, I'm down a total of 17 lbs. That's 17 days, and 17 lbs. However, I started heavier than you (284 lbs). I've been completely rigid about the diet, and I'm doing it vegetarian. KEEP GOING!!!!.
I was skeptical and started the diet intending to only go through phase 1 as a springboard to getting back in shape. I lost 20 lbs in p1 and am now in p3. I've lost 35 lbs since 1/12 and have cheated a handful of times. I've gotten 100x more out of this diet than I ever would have thought, and stump for it to everyone who tells me how different I look. 5 or 6 people from work have started the diet and there are a couples copies of the book always floating around.
my weightloss completely slowed down.. I went from 9lbs in 9 days, to now 11lbs in 14 days.. still good.. but not as great as before. I'm realistic though, the first loss was way too much to be healthy to sustain. If I lose 2lbs a week I should be happy.
