Description:
This three phase plan provides a diet rich in low glycemic-index carbs and protein. This diet is not low-carb, nor is it low-fat. It teaches you to rely on the right carbs and the right fats. Eat normal-size helpings of meat, chicken, turkey, fish, and shell-fish, with plenty of vegetables, eggs, cheese, and nuts.
Diet Rules:
Phase 1 - All sugars, processed carbohydrates, fruits, and higher-glycemic vegetables are eliminated. The goal is to achieve significant weight loss. This phase should last 2 weeks.

Phase 2 - Most fruits, vegetables, and some whole grains are reintroduced, and weight loss continues at a slower rate. You should stay on this phase until you meet your weight loss goal.

Phase 3 - The maintenance phase. There are no longer food restrictions.
