CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!By now you can recognize if you crave more sweet or salty foods. During this last phase you will start to take control and make you own food decisions. If you have an event or dinner to attend, maybe involving drinks, feel free to do it without feeling guilty but think ahead that day or reorganize your day mentally. What do you need to eat, for example? Eat less earlier that day and enjoy your party! The next day go back to your routine with more proteins and less carbohydrates and you will know you never, ever are going to gain weight because you have taken control of your life!!
