I kinda have to lick peanut butter off a spoon just to get my fat in at breakfast and I don't even want my fruit unless I stick berries in my cereal which works OK. Looking forward to phase 4 Maintenance YAAAAY! I actually lost a pound (and another inch) while I was away on my trip to a family wedding even though you usually gain a couple refilling your glycogen tanks when starting phase 3. My body just seems to do better with more food. I've been on the alternate plan ever since 1/2 way through phase 1 and I lose better and feel better on it too. Only 1 more pound and I will be back at my model weight - just bought size 2 skinny stretch jeans yesterday - it's feels good to be back.

OHHHHKAAAY... I should have known, now on to beginning phase 4 maint. and I have gained 3 pounds (refilling the glycogen tanks) in my last week of phase 3. One good thing though, I didn't gain any inches in my lower body, just 1/2 inch on my chest. I call it my chest now, since I no longer have boobs HAHAHA
(went from a 34 D to a B+ or C- depending how you look at it)
