I only stay on PH1 for the 2 weeks, but no cheating in there. I think if you cheat you might stay longer to get over cravings. This is my third time but my transition to PH2 has always worked fine for me... it is PH 3 that I can't handle
I have only added one serving of fruit and late in the day so far this week. I am still losing, but very slowly, but that is to be expected for me.
If your intention in a longer PH1 is too lose more weight quickly, that may backfire - experts say that your body often responds to a diet by thinking it is going to be starved and your metabolism actually lowers, making it harder to lose or even easier to gain when you add more food.
Here is a thread on transitioning:
