This is the end of my first week in phase 3, and boy does the scale bounce around on this.

The idea is to NEVER gain or lose more than 2 lbs from what you weighed on the last morning of phase 2. If you do go over or under 2 lbs, even if it's only in ounces, you have to do a 'steak day', which is eat nothing until dinner - a huge steak plus either a tomato or an apple. The next day you should drop 1 to 4 lbs, from what I read. [This most likely depends on how much you went overboard in eating the day before.]

I have dropped .25 lbs from my last weigh-in on phase 2, and got within a 1/2 lb from being over. My graph reads, up-down-over-down-up-down....LOL. But it is pretty easy to bring my weight down a bit when I need to. As a matter of fact, there most definitely is something to your hypothalamus being reset, because I hardly feel hungry at all any more! I can't wait for phase 4 - eat whatever - so that I can work on losing the few extra pounds left.
