You’re desired outcome is to maintain your weight but the basic “rule” for supposedly achieving this feels pretty vague. This post is all about examining how you can do P3 in the most detailed way possible to make stabilizing your weight a sure thing. Doing Phase 3 this particular . If you are not there yet (I wasn. A drastic change just happened in your body that wasn’t slow and gradual. Your body has been operating differently than it normally does during this time- instead of getting all it’s calories for functioning from food, it’s been getting the majority of it’s fuel from your fat- it now has to switch back to food as a main fuel source, which in itself I’m sure is quite easy, but to make that switch without gaining weight seems more involved. Whatever you decide to do, remember it is only for a few weeks- not a lifetime. Making your stabilization phase go smoothly and successfully is worth keeping out a few foods as necessary so that you can eat them and keep your new body at the same time later! Basic Keys for Phase 3 the BEST Way. For 3 weeks following Phase 2, do not eat sugars or starches. Eat to hunger. Introduce calories/amounts of food gradually. Introduce dairy, nuts, and fats slowly. Keep your weight within 2 lbs of your LDW*If your weight goes above this, do a Steak Day. If your weight goes above the 2lb window, start the three week Phase 3 period over again.* There are several instances where this won’t be possible – article coming soon to explain this!#1- No Starches or Sugars for 3 weeks. What does this mean though exactly? Basically we’re going low carb here. There are either starches or sugars in: Grains, Beans, Fruit, and Starchy Veggies. There can also be hidden starches in pre- made foods – ingredients such as Maltodextrin and the like. If in doubt, leave it out. You will be so glad you did this later. What’s definitely out in my mind: All grains. Or what we consider to be grains because they have carbs (ie. It doesn’t matter if it’s sprouted (example Ezekiel bread- this contains 1. P3 in my opinion). We can’t think about food from other diet perspectives, we have to think about it from an h. CG perspective. Starchy veggies. Things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, peas. Sorry! Fruits. Some low sugar fruits like the berry family can usually be gotten away with like 1/2 cup in a smoothie, but I’d avoid most other fruits myself- fruits are high natural fructose sugar still – not good for Phase 3 purposes. Some people do keep in the P2 fruits in P3 but I would say the vast majority run into trouble keeping fruits in. Beans. Beans. Whatever you want to call them – make your chili without beans. Doesn’t mean you can’t have any dairy, but be aware of the type of dairy and check labels. Doesn’t mean you can’t have them, but amounts and their resulting carb level (1/4 cup – 5 grams carbs – much better!) matter. What if you still aren’t sure if something is a starch or carb? Check the both the sugar and carb count on the actual nutrition label always. Labeling can be misleading and reading the nutrition facts and ingredients can quickly help you see what. Additionally, see my post coming soon on Common P3 Questions and you will see I. I wish I could say I was. While I have over the last 2 years learned to eat to hunger in general, the majority of my P3’s were not really run with this in mind. I was doing good just to be avoiding sugar at that point. Somehow it did work out, BUT I was also in hot pursuit of gaining muscle after most my rounds, and I did gain several lbs of muscle- building fat or muscle both take excess calories, so that’s why I don’t think I’m the best example for those in P3 wishing to truly stay the same weight- thankfully my “gains” during P3 and P4 have pretty much been all desirable ones (muscle), but I recognize this is not the goal of the majority of you h. CGing ladies out there. That being said, eating to hunger can be a very important piece of the puzzle to truly stabilizing your health and having freedom with what you eat later down the road. I am not going to dwell too much on this topic because there is already an excellent book that covers this subject in great detail, Weight- Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the h. CG Protocol. I feel like this book is a must- read for anyone who has deeper seated reasons for being overweight or overeating. The author, Robin Woodall, will introduce you to her method of eating to hunger which involves a hunger scale- something to gauge your hunger, and teaches you when to eat and when to stop eating based on this scale- if you follow this method, you are basically gauranteed to maintain your weight. In real terms what you. As P3 progresses, you. Simeons warned about not increasing your calories and food intake on p. But since he wasn’t specific on amounts, it’s difficult to know exactly what he had in mind. That’s why sometimes vague statements can almost be more hurtful than helpful because different people will take it different ways. As an example, for many years I have read about the importance of taking in “lots of protein” (a very vague statement- exactly how much is lots?) especially when working out- so that’s just what I did- I have eaten up to a whole pound of meat in one sitting, on many occasions, because I was worried about not getting enough protein after my workout and losing muscle. Did I mention I’m 5? A girl my size does NOT need a whole pound of meat after a workout. But somehow because most of what I had read was so vague and not specific at all, my brain had to come up with a definition for “lots” which ended up amounting to 1 lb. WAY more than I need for my size. So that’s my example to show that some of us, if not given clear direction, can take things too far one way or the other, because we simply don’t naturally know what’s balanced since we have no point of reference. You can tell from his manuscript that Dr. Simeons was concerned with individuals who were so nervous about p. CG was gone, scared to eat more for fear of gaining weight. So we know not to do go that far. But he was less clear on how much more we were actually supposed to eat. I think portion sizes have gone up QUITE a bit since his day, so our perception of what’s a “normal” amount of food is often not accurate and is actually too much. I am guilty of overdoing it in p. While I am very strict about not eating the starches and sugars, I have not been smart in the past when it came to amounts of food. I would often feel myself getting overly full, which is not good. Since you just spent several weeks eating very little food, your body is not going to be well equipped to handle too much food at first- it makes more logical sense to add amounts of food in more gradually- your digestion will thank you as well! If you think about this logically it. When a person does a cleanse where they are taking only liquids or only vegetables for a certain period of time, it. Those who have done such things have lived to tell their stories of doubled over pain. So the same principle applies. Well now I’m guilty of being vague, and that is because I really don’t have specific amounts to give you because I simply don’t know- all I know is that it seems that some of us tend to bump our calorie intake up a little TOO fast in p. Introduce Food Groups and Fats Slowly. Food groups. You may find your body is sensitive to certain foods or food groups that causes you gains on the scale at the start of P3, that do not cause this problem later on when you try them again. You come to find you have a true intolerance to a certain food or food group, and discovering this through the P3 process can help you maintain your weight for life MUCH more easily. So the first point. If you want to play it super duper safe, leaving out nuts and dairy for the first week of P3 seems like it would be wise. Often times food groups like nuts or dairy aren. Whether this is because of their carb content or their fat content or both I. Simeons did say that in P3 that as soon as carbs and fats were combined things got out of hand quickly, and in truth both dairy and nuts kind of have that combo of high fat and more carbs that most people would think. Whatever the case, the scenario is that say you have some nuts one day but the scale goes up way more than you think it should have for what you ate the previous day. So you might take nuts back out for a few days and see how the scale treats you. Trying these foods again as time goes on, you may likely find you CAN eat these foods now. On to FATS. I can’t be totally sure of this, but it seems to me that your body is still somewhat sensitive to fats when you first come off the diet. I could be wrong here. But this is the impression I get so far, and it makes me think that introducing fats in the diet should be done gradually as well. Maybe a little the first few days, then a little more, etc. I know the h. CG gets out of the system in 7. I just feel like in my experience my body was still sensitive to and would take up fat very easily even that first week of p. I would love to hear other’s feedback and experience on this if you have it. The thing to note here is that everyone. In Episode 1. 1 of the h. CG Diet Interviews, Elke had a totally different P3 experience. She lost 8. 0lbs with h. CG and has been maintaining it with no issues for several months. So in this case, almost the exact opposite of what I just told you! In general though, I would say the majority do better adding dairy and nuts more cautiously. Okay by now you might be thinking geez Rayzel, okay so you.
