It's been a full year since I did R1 and here is my experience: I lost a total of 32 pds on a a 40 day cycle (46 with breaks) and then continued to lose an additional 14 pds through p3 and p4. I kept up with p3 protocol even in p4 (just felt better) but then over the year, slowly went back to eating more gluten and starches and drinking! I started gaining back weight in the last three months and when I hit 10 pounds over my lowest weight, I decided to do another round.
