Met with my coaches today. They highly recommend 2 weeks of phase 2. They told me that it helps to provide a better transition from the weight loss protocol to the weight maintenance protocol. Most other diets go directly from their weight loss mode to the maintenance phase, which may promote food storage rather than food burning. So phase 2 begins the transition to slowly increase the caloric intake so our metabolism can keep up with the increased fuel. Apparently they have found that dieters had better long term successes when they went thru 2 weeks of phase 2, followed by the 2 weeks of phase 3.

Well...I'll be doing 2 weeks of both phases 2 & 3. Tomorrow begins my first day of phase 2!!!!:carrot:
