I have to phrase out for my holiday I am suppose to be in maintenance in the next 13 days......But what is throwing me off is that I had a cheat sat night, so I did phrase 1 yesterday do I continue until I am in ketosis again? or do I go back onto phrase 2?
I would love to lose another 5 pounds but I know I have to get onto phrase 3atleast by the weekend?
What would you sujjest I follow now like I said would love to lose 5 more but know I have to do this properly????
Did any of you lose on phrase 3???
Thank you all, you have been so very helpful......

You have done amazing congratulations.....and thank you for your advice!!!

I would not worry about the cheat at all. Remember you are NOT getting back all your glycogen reserves back just with one cheat. I bet you will be back in ketosis within 24 to 36 hours. phase 2 and one are not very different, the only purpose of phase 2 is so that your body gets used to having solid "real" protein for lunch. I personally would continue with phase 2 and not change anything.

As far as loosing in phase 3: yes, I went into phase 3 at 137 and lost another 12...note: I started working out heavily as soon as I was able to have the breakfast that you can have in phase 3.

Ok sounds good, thank you I wondered if it was possible to lose in phrase 3thats great to hear....are you doing more cardio or weights?
I kinda have followed phrase 2 today so far,
How long did you follow phrase 3 for?
I leave on holiday on July 29th, how long would you sujjest I do phrase 3 for?
I really appreciate your advice thank you.........

wish I remembered how long I did phase 3, we are talking 2 years ago. Both actually, I had started with weight training in phase 2, twice a week with a trainer then I started running and doing boot camp classes in phase 3. I remember in november of 2010 I was actually at 123. My body didn't like that at all and it seemed that 125 to 127 was where I was happy and looked the healthiest.

as you can see I am re booting now to get rid of 10 pounds I had gained by being bad for a few months. my coach said do phase 3 for minimum of one week then start having carbs for dinner; based on that start the phase 3 a week before 29th then you can have a little bit of carb and freedom when you are on holidays.

Perfect thats very helpful thank you, So I will start phrase 3 maybe then saturday then the following sunday do maintenance...........ok now I gotta be extra good, so my shorts fit.......... I got 6 more days!!!!!!!!!!

From what I have read, it is important to be on Phase 3 for 2 weeks. You no longer have that amount of time so it is important to get started on Phase 3 right away.

I too am leaving for vacation next week and so my coach put me on P2 for just one week and I started P3 two days ago. She said they wanted me on each of the two phases for the same length of time. A little shorter than what is usually suggested, but I want to be able to be on maintenance when we leave. I have still been losing a few lbs as I have been on P2 and it looks like maybe still a little more according to my scale this morning. I have a weigh in this morning and look forward to what their scale says. This is such an awesome program!

Ok good to know, I am loving this diet so much but excited for phrase 3 and 4....good luck with your weigh in, I have been on phrase 2 on and off for about a week I guess then will start phase 3 saturday.....how long does she want you to follow phrase 2 & 3 for?
Do you want to lose much more?
