Alright! I've been so good, and stayed OP for two weeks (only fell off the wagon 1 meal) and my total weight loss was 4 pounds.

I think I will ver-r-r-ry gradually try a little of Phase 2 beginning tomorrow. I get in an hour of exercise at the gym 5 days a week....so I will continue with that.

Tomorrow I believe I will try one piece of fruit (maybe some blueberries) and see how that goes. I think it will be a while before I add whole grains.

Do I remember correctly from the book that you should not eat any fruit until after lunch ? Is that for a particular reason? I think Dr. A. says it has an adverse effect on your blood sugar???

I really feel that Phase 1 helped me to begin the process of giving up "Bad Carbs" from my daily diet. Before SBD, I was eating so much popcorn, pretzels, and crackers. They are still sitting in my pantry......and I really don't even crave them!! This is totally amazing to me. Wish me luck!

YOU DON'T need luck BECAUSE.....
You WILL do fine.

The fruit has sugar in it and Dr. A says it is best as a snack later in the day. You can try it in the morning and see if it sets you up for cravings.

Whoo hooo, Deets is on Phase 2! Congrats on making it through the first 2 weeks of your new WOL! You'll do great, just take it nice and slow.

Good luck, Deets! I started having my fruit in the morning. Berries or dry apricots in my porridge.

Deets, congratulations on completing phase 1!! It sounds like you have a good plan for moving into phase 2. I also went slowly, starting with fruit, then added yogurt. Like you, I'm leery about adding grains, but I have started to have a little Uncle Sam's cereal (stirred into yogurt is yummy!). Just add one or two things, see how you do, and then try something else. If you find that a certain food triggers your cravings, drop that from your list of foods to eat for a while, and try something else.
