How long can I stay in Phase 1? I know the book says that because weight lose happens quicly in this stage, some people like to stay in it longer than 2 weeks but how long can you stay on it before you must switch to phase 1?

It is not recommended to stay on phase 1 for any longer than 4 weeks.

I just wanted to add that when you do move on to phase 2 you can do it slowly. Just adding something from the phase 2 list every couple of days. I was afraid to leave phase 1 because I didn't want to stop losing. I've slowed down some now but the scale is still moving in the right direction. Congrats on the 11 pound loss!!

Thanks! I am exercising 5 days a week as well so I'm sure that has helped with the weight loss greatly.
