    Hello,

    I am currently in phase 1 and have about a week and a half left. I've lost 13.4 lbs so far in about 2 weeks which I'm excited about but I seem to be stalling the last few days.

    I'm not sure if this is due to the nature of the diet or the fact that I'm taking Medrol cortisteroids for a back injury causing partial paralysis in one of my legs. Would this be an appropriate time to do an Apple Day? I don't think I'll make it to my goal weight which is 16 lbs away so I think I'll most likely have to do another round. Can I start the 2nd 23 day round immediately after P3 or do I have to transition all the way through P4 before I can start again?

    Thanks!

    You are actually in what we call Phase 2. After this you do 3 weeks of Phase 3 then 3 weeks of Phase 4 and you can start back on the injections.

    edited to add: I really, really believe you short change yourself when you don't do all the phases. It's important to reintroduce carbs and sugars so your body handles them well.

    Whoops - my bad. That's what I meant. I'm halfway through Phase 2. Typing too fast since i'm doing 20 different things at once!

    Thanks, Linda Lou. That being said, does that mean I load for 2 days after completing 3 weeks of Phase 4 prior to jumping back on the VLCD horse? Im trying to determine when I need to place my order to start back up again (taking in to account the 2 week delivery period).
