Phase 2 - On Going Weight Loss

By Stephanie Boyle



Phase 2, On Going Weight Loss (OGWL) will up your intake in carbs slightly however keep them at the point in which weight loss will continue occurring. Your goal in this phase is to figure out how many net carbs per day you can continuously consume to continue losing weight, which is vital to your weight loss.



To begin on phase 2, you start adding 2 grams of net carbs to your daily intake of net carbs per week until you find the crucial number. This phase of weight loss will last until you are 10lbs away from your goal. During your first week in OGWL you should add more of the induction acceptable vegetables and slowly start introducing the newly acceptable vegetables into your diet. The next week you will start adding fresh dairy into your diet. Week 3 is nuts, week 4 is berries and week 5 is alcohol. To make sure weight loss is on target you must make sure to only introduce these back into your diet when recommended, otherwise weight loss will not be on target. Week 6 is legumes, week 7 is other fruits, week 8 is starchy vegetables and week 9 is grains. If you plan on not adding a certain level to your permanent way of eating such as if you do not consume alcohol, simply skip that week and on your fifth week use the 6th week and so on.



Continue on this phase until you are 10lbs away from your weight loss target. Once you are 10lbs away from your target you are ready for Phase 3. Remember if you do go to the next level and then feel you are not ready you can come back to phase 2 and eventually get yourself to phase 3 again.
