phase 1 vs 2

Ok, I am a nursing mom-this is all new to me. YOu all suggested starting phase 2. But, my questions is how long does it take when you eliminate ALL carbs, in order to get rid of thsoe CRAVINGS. Is it really 2 weeks? B/c I was wondering if maybe doing it for a day or two would help, then go right into phase 2. It might be in the book-but am still reading. AS my name says-I have four boys-and they are ages 5 years to 7 months. SO am quite busy. But I want to eat better-so this plan sounds good in general. Also, I only need to lose about 5-8 pounds. I did try to limit carbs yesterday-and found I was pretty hungry-so I added a slice of sourdough twice. Maybe I just need to finish reading!

Hi,
Just my two cents.
I agree with Cathy and staying away from the refined flour in white bread. It takes everyone a different amount of time to really detox, I think. The two weeks are to

Out of curiosity, I just checked the book in the glycemic index (it starts on page 70).

You NEED your calcium. Do NOT cut back, eat your fat free yogurts and your low fat milk. Dairy is not allowed in Phase 1. Perhaps you may want to eliminate all pastas, rices, breads, etc... but honestly if you only have 5 to lose it will come off while nursing. I would not, in your position, start at P1.
Good luck with everyting!

I cut down my wieght fast-but it halted a couple months back-my son is 7 months old-and I do have all my weight in the midsection-so this diet may help. Can't wait to really get goin on it!
Jessica,
You are so knowledgable about breast-feeding, and the health concerns of nursing mothers.

Yes, a lot of the cute fonts come from the extra package. I get it free, too, as a community leader (cl) in another area of ivillage. The moderators in the channel on which I cl asked us to promote the fonts and package. I thought it was a reasonable request, so I have been doing so. I also like using the creative fonts and such; they are fun.
Some of the pictures and such come from a website called "Smiley Central". It is not connected to ivillage in any way, though I did learn of it from another cl--who is also a regular poster here though not a cl here
