I’m maintaining, Very little fluctuation in weight, and I love the way I look!

Thank you Jessica! This is very helpful information! Thanks so Much!
I followed your phase 2 recipes, that was helpful to learn where to add in calories!
Goal is to stick with the basics learned from phase 1 & 2
And as you suggested add grains In gradually, see how body responds and

I am wrapping up phase 2, the suggestion to add foods gradually went well. It felt like I was eating a lot of calories to make the 1500 mark.

Thanks, Jessica, the article was very helpful, I think keeping with phase one and watching fat and sugar while eating out will be key!
creative decision making is the goal on this food and lifestyle change, now the test will be to scout out the right food and as you say, not to stree but enjoy eating healthy! Thanks again!

Thanks Brad, They say if you could can that “feeling” you’d make a million! ha ha!
I’m starting to get the routine down now, and will continue phase one for two more weeks! Then its Phase 2 here we come!

Thanks Jessica, really appreciate your response! I can see where hummus needs to be watched carefully, 2T max with veggies, or it can add up fast in calories etc,

Coconut water is Costco brand, 1 cup 45 calories, less than 1% organic cane sugar
10 g came sigar. Vs 7 in almond milk, close, leading lots about how these foods break down!

Thanks!

I made the Kale Apple Salad tonight, I wasn’t a fan of the carrot, the rest was good.
I would substitute mushroom and/or red pepper for the carrot and sauté veggies and kale in either olive oil or coconut oil, no need to massage the kale,
takes more time and adds more fat to your day’s calories.

Thanks,
I was reading the forum dialogue on butternut squash and had one handy!
So glad I asked! Good to know I need to wait for phase two!
Something to look forward to next!

So far the recipes I’ve tried are coming out great! Easy to make and clean up too!
Husband really liked hearty chili!

Hi Jessica, Can we do butternut squash in phase one?

FYI, I made flanks steak and served it alongside ratatouille, yummy
All ps1000 approved foods! Husband liked it too!
