Actually I found that I developed Bread phobias - so that was really late in the game.
I started with fruit during the afternoon b/c that's when I was most stable. (late night didn't work at all).
But I found that one full week on 1.5 then basically whenever I wanted it. I started to have a bit too much cereal so I had to taper off.
I think that the book suggests just watching the scale and seeing how you feel.
I really don't mind Phase 1 stuff all that much, so I try to eat as much phase 1 as possible.
Do you know what's funny? I had a Ziploc Ice Cream the other night, and I felt like I had cheated! I had an OVERWHELMING feeling of guilt, it was bad! Then I got over it. Originally Posted by pebbles396

Can you give me a vague idea of your Wk1.5 menu looked like on an average day? I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to be eating. I mean, I think I can handle making myself these egg-blintz things I have made for myself for breakfast, with a cup of milk for breaky... then for a snack, I could see an apple with a smear of PB... lunch, I used to eat this bland-but-healthy-meal, it's plain oatmeal (not quick oats), with cocoa and a 1/2 cup of f/f dry cottage cheese and sweetner. It doesn't taste like much but it's easy, and it gives me everything I need. Dinner, I could see myself continuing to eat grilled chicken and a variety of veggies... and then snack, still maybe a ricotta creme or a ziploc ice cream.
Does this sound reasonable for Ph1.5 or Ph2? Too much? Not enough? Wrong foods? Obviously I want to keep losing (who knows if I will have lost after 2 weeks on Ph1 -- every day I feel like I've eaten the wrong things. Too much cheese, too much fat, not enough... who knows) as I'm still pretty far from goal.
Thanks, as always.
