If you haven't experienced a big loss by the beginning of week three, then you might be experiencing delayed repair of your metabolism. We have to remember that our bodies are still relearning how to use the nutrients in carb rich foods. If, in the first two weeks, you haven't lost as much weight as you had hoped, just notice how many wonderful nutrient-dense carbs you've been eating, and how much healthy fat. When you are holding steady you are also experiencing major metabolism repair. And when the weight loss starts? You've not only repaired your metabolism, but sped it up dramatically. You've not only learned to burn what you eat, but to incinerate your fat stores.

Metabolism repair isn't about losing weight, even though weight loss will happen if you are carrying too much weight for your body. It's about your body being able to extract the nutrients from your food effectively and thoroughly, so you can have the normal and proper biochemical and physiological response to life.

This is not only your rehabilitation and repair but also your final push to achieve that ultimate burn. If you go off the program now, your body will have only experienced the three phases during two weeks of your monthly 28-day cycle. Your body hasn't run through the entire repair cycle yet.

This program is not a quick fix. Week three is crucial, so stay focused, stay steady, and keep your eye on the prize of having a fast metabolism and never depriving your self of eating real food again.
