Phase I has been very good to me. My voracious sugar cravings are gone and good riddance to them.

What is the first food(s) you added back?

I'm going to be starting Phase 2 in one week. My plan is to add one serving of fruit back in for my afternoon snack. Probably strawberries or cantaloupe. I will try that for a week or 2 then try a small serving of whole wheat grains for the next two weeks and call that good.

Can I be completely honest? Red wine. I added back my glass of wine instead of starchy carbs. It was the one think I couldn't find a substitute for.

Blueberries for an after dinner treat. I held off on grains for a while - they are more of a problem for me than fruit.

Steel cut oats! I was soooo tired of gagging down eggs for breakfast. I'm a cereal nut.

An apple with peanut butter in the afternoon.... I couldn't believe how sweet that first bite of apple tasted to me. It's still my favorite afternoon snack....

When I went into Phase 2 when we were on the beach a few years ago, I was more than just a little nervous... I stayed on Phase 1 for an extra week because I was so scared... but it went fine... I had a one pound gain the first week I added grains, but the next week that pound was gone and took a couple of it's "friends" with it.

This time around I didn't hesitate... I added my serving of fruit on Day 15.... no problem....

Grains do freak me out a bit, but I am thinking I need the fiber. Still having bathroom troubles, even though I have added fiber and Flax seed oil and upped my water intake. :P

PinkHoodie, the grains helped me SO much in the bathroom department! I feel so much better.

Grapes where the first thing I added back this time. And I'm taking it super slow moving to phase 2. A few grapes this week and a veggie/pasta side serving yesterday that had maybe 2 T pasta and a whole lot more veggies.

Good luck on phase 2
