The program also provides the following arrangements in order to prevent weight regain during the return to a normal diet. – Attack Phase pure proteins: it eats only protein, ie meat, poultry, fish, seafood, milk 0%. It lasts from 3 to 10 days depending on the desired objective – Alternative Stage: As the attack phase, by adding vegetables. Only ban: starches (potatoes, corn, peas, lentils, beans …). It is the “cruising speed”: the protein is gradually added vegetables. We then alternate these 2 steps until the desired weight (two pounds per week). – Consolidation Phase: Closing long enough to return to normal to avoid the famous “rebound effect” foods are forbidden for them reintroduced gradually. There are 10 days of consolidation kilo lost. – Stabilizing Phase: You eat normally by following two principles: an “Thursday protein” to life and eat 3 tablespoons of bran and oats per day.
