PHASE 2.This ongoing phase of the fat flush diet is
designed for continued weight loss with a more mod-
erate cleansing program and a slightly increased vari-
ety of foods. The caloric allowance is raised to 1200–
1500 calories. Phase 2 is continued until the desired
weight loss or size is achieved.
Carbohydrates that may be added back into the
diet, at the rate of one per week, include:
sweet potato
brown rice
fresh or frozen peas
carrots
butternut squash.
PHASE 3.Phase 3 is a lifelong weight-maintenance
plan with a daily caloric allowance of 1500 calories or
more. The diet is made up of 40% carbohydrates, 30%
protein, and 30% fat, and may include two dairy prod-
ucts and four carbohydrates per day. Some starchy
vegetables, fruits, gluten-free grains, dairy products,
and more oils are introduced into the diet one at a
time, to check for any adverse reactions.
