Hi Everyone,

I loaned my copy of PP to a diabetic friend and need some answers. I've been on Phase I since 3/25.......when exactly or how long until you are to move to Phase II? This part confuses me. I am not stalled as the inches are still coming off :D . Nope, the scale hasn't budged............

"We offer (Phase II) for people who need to reduce their body weight by less than 20 percent to reach ideal weight and have...normalized blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugars" (p 108 my paperback edition of PP)

so multiply your goal weight times 1.2 ... if you're at that number or under it, you'll move on to Phase II. 55 g is non-ketogenic and for most people weight loss slows at such levels (for some people, tho, such a jump can break a long stall--go figger!). But we're supposed to lose those last pounds more slowly, normalizing our eating as we do.

HTH!

Well if I multiply my goal weight times 1.2 it comes to 156 which putes my 4.5 lbs. away from that which means I will stay on Phase I for quite awhile I suppose.
