Finally stabilizing perfectly! First two rounds were 43 days and I could never stabilize properly and gained back 10 and 15 pounds. I could never wait the 3 weeks to add back carbs. Third round I did 23 days and was able to do the phase 3 properly. Wow what a difference! I actually had to eat a bunch to keep within the 2 pounds of LIW. This will be my strategy from now on. Down 70 pounds and 1 or 2 rounds to go. I love this protocol!
