My coach says that if I eat phase 3 for 2 full weeks, it stabilized weight so going on a vacation (and off plan) won't be so damaging. Then come back and return to phase one to finish up losses.

What do the experienced ideal protein gals have to say?

THANKS

WOW that's quite interesting. I've not experienced this plan but did take a two week vaca for our daughter's wedding on week 14 ... and not quite 1/2 way to my 70 pound loss goal. I stayed on program up to the day we left. Shipped food to Hawaii to stay on program and made it to day 2 of the trip. Sigh... In two weeks of eating and drinking what I wanted (though what I wanted was somewhat guarded - yet still pretty loose) I only gained 3 pounds. By the end of my first week back I lost that 3 plus 1 more.

I must say that your coach's plan makes me want to go on vacation... just 'cause I'd love to be on Phase 3. LOL!
