Question:
I have been on south beach diet phase 2 of the SBD for one week. I have lost 7 lbs. so far. My question to anyone out there is, How many weeks max can some one do phase one for? I know it says in the book phase one lasts two weeks,however I would like to maybe do more than that since I have 40 pounds to lose
Answer:
You can do up to four weeks. However, you probably shouldn't do more than two weeks. You probably won't lose any more weight staying on Phase I than you would on Phase II. Phase I is detox. Are your cravings gone at the end of the second week? If yes, move on. Just about everyone gets nervous about moving from Phase I to Phase II.
