Getting rid of the cravings and the addicitive feelings is the most wonderful part of low carbing. Ultimately you will shed the pounds without the first phase, but it is my favorite part. If you can't do the full two weeks, just try doing a good strict week, I notice a difference in about 5 days. Now, I am afraid to even eat the small amount of allowed carbs from bread, I am afraid it will trigger me.
I think of it as a detox period, something that I am doing for health reasons instead of dieting....I lost 10 pounds on phase 1, and I even cheated twice.
Good luck!!
