How long to stay in Phase 2?

Hello everyone,

I may have missed this info in Getting Started but how long should I stay in Phase 2? I started the diet Feb 7 and stayed in Phase 1 for 2 weeks. Now I'm in Phase 2 and how long should I be here?

I'm loving this. This board is wonderful.

Hi joymags,


Phase 2 is the weight loss phase of the diet.

Thanks Cathy.

No, I'm far from my goal yet. Lost about 3 pounds in Phase 1 and still have around 7 pounds to go. I'll stay in this Phase then till I've made progress. It's just been 3 days.

I'm very pear-shaped and I think I read in some previous posts or (was it in the south Beach newsletter?) that the weight loss may seem slow especially for those who are bottom-heavy. At least, I'm glad to finally see my waist again and have lost some of the belly fat.

Thanks again,
joymags

Hi joymags,


I've been on Phase 2 since the second week of November, 2003.
