I have done very well not "cheating" on phase 1...today is the last day of my first 2 weeks, so technically I can move on to phase 2 tomorrow...I need hints about how to re-introduce the carbs into my diet without going crazy and re-gaining weight...my weigh in is tomorrow morning...I'm so excited! Tips for best time of day for my one starch and one fruit would be awesome! Thanks, all...I really look forward to reading your posts

Great job on a clean phase one!!! I think I started with one fruit and then added one grain later the first week and basically that's where I have stayed. I am genuinely not hungry on this diet. I have found I am a lot more sensitive to grains so I really try to keep it to one and no more than two a day. But I don't really miss them. I can have 2 fruits a day and they don't trigger me or cause a gain. Everyone is totally different so you do have to see what works for you. I am finding salt to be causing me a gain recently so have cut the salted cashews this week.

I too am moving onto Phase 2 - well, 1.5 - today! great job on a clean Ph 1!

I find eating fruit or whole wheats in the AM is a trigger for me so I eat them either with lunch or dinner and/or as dessert. I try adding one thing back for a week. Then adding another. So this week it's a grain and a fruit. I will stick with that for a week then add in some more as I go and get more comfortable.

After a week of a "detox" P1 I will be back on 1.5 tomorrow. I'm going to start with overnight oats for breakfast! I usually add in fruit, like berries, mangoes, bananas... But then I try to add a ww pita or something and then an occasion comes along where I "cheat" and not that it spirals too much out of control but I am not at my goal yet so I can't let that happen. So I haven't really found a trigger food yet, it's more trigger "events". Summers are rough. So are holidays. Luckily there are tons of other people here on the same boat to learn from. Make sure you check in on the weekly on plan meal posts. Even if you don't post yours, look at what other people are eating.
