Diet doesn't have to be boring

Hi Jody,
I have had great success with the program so far, although everyone is different. I started mid August 2017 and have lost 142 lbs. so far. I do the Phase 1 for 90 days and then the Phase 2 for the recommended 21 days. I am now on my 3rd session of Phase 1 with the ulitmate goal of losing 160 lbs. It is a great program but you have to stick with it. There will be good days and bad days, just keep reminding yourself of where you want to be. Best of luck.

I just finished Phase 1 this past Saturday, November 18th. I lost a total of 86 lbs. which averages out to 6.6 lbs. per week. I have attached an image of my weekly tracking along with a chart showing the planned versus actual. I had really good weeks and not so good weeks. With my body, I noticed drastic swings in day to day weights during certain portions of this diet. So even though I weighed every morning, I tried to not get too discouraged when I would go back up next day from a previous weight loss. (+/- 4 lbs). I did not do any exercising during Phase 1 so all loss was simply based on caloric intake. Even though I didn’t exercise my normal daily activity was around 5000 steps a day. Now that I am in Phase 2, I have started walking daily and plan on doing some additional exercises. After completing Phase 2 and will go directly back on Phase 1 for another full 90 day cycle as I want to lose an additional 80 lbs.
There were concerns in a previous post about too rapid of a weight loss not being healthy. I would state that for me it was not. My doctor is very enthusiastic about my weight loss journey. All tests have been coming back in the normal range. There have also been posts stating that for some this program does not work for them. I understand this and everyone’s body reacts differently and there may be other underlying issues preventing the weight loss.
Water: Some have struggled with the water requirements in the diet. I did not go by the formula based on overall weight should equal so many ounces of water. For me this was too much. I do drink 80 ounces of water a day spread out over 12 hours. The weeks were I didn’t lose as much weight I could directly link it to not getting enough water.
Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact me if any questions.

Hi Kim,
Just want you to know that I went thru something similar during week 3. My first two weeks went great and then the 3rd week hit and I got discouraged. During about a 10 day stretch from week 3 and into week 4 I didn’t lose as much weight but then it picked back up again around week 5. I am currently in my 7th week and again I am seeing a plateau, but I can feel the difference even-though the scales don’t reflect it.
