Safe to move onto week 2?

I'm just finishing today week one of Phase 2. I think I'm safe to move onto two grains and two fruits. I weighed myself daily this past week and here is how it went:

Mon- 148 pounds
Tues- 148 pounds
Wed- 147.5 pounds
Thurs- 147 pounds
Fri- 148 pounds
Sat- 147 pounds
Sun- 146.5 pounds (today)

I weigh myself first thing in the morning. So, if I understand it, I am to pick another grain (like one piece of bread) and one fruit and eat them daily in addition to the ones I ate in week one. And I must eat this same new grain every day for a week, right? Maybe I'll pick bread. I think eating oatmeal every day for a week would get tiring!

It's fine to move to two fruits and two grains this week. However, it does NOT need to be the same fruits and grains for an entire week. Mix it up. Boredom may cause you to stray from the foods to enjoy list.


Good luck and enjoy ALL the foods on Phase 2!!!

You mean I can have any two fruits and any two grains per day from the P2 food list? As long as in P2 week two I don't exceed the two of each per day? Then, in week three it is 3 fruits and 3 grains, then in week four, 4 fruits and 4 grains?

Yup, that's the way it works!! Usually we go for 3 of each by week 3 and then continue with 3 of each going forward. You will be surprised how hard it is to eat that much in one day!!
