In previous Posts I’ve discussed how both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the STAX Nutrition System work. Now it’s time to explain Phase 3

You should remain in Phase 2 until you stop seeing or feeling changes in your body for a period of at least two weeks. At that point it is time to transition to Phase 3. In Phase 3 you will still begin your day (meal 1) with a portion of carbohydrate and protein. After that the rest of your meals for the day will consist of a protein and a fat. Remember that vegetables are optional and highly recommended at every meal. Don’t forget that you are allowed unlimited portion sizes of veggies. This is important during Phase 3 because eating extra veggies will help you to stay full.

During Phase 3 you’ll need to scale the intensity of your workouts back a little. You are reducing your carbohydrate intake and you may notice a drop in your overall energy levels, especially during workouts.

Stay in Phase 3 for as long and you continue to lose weight. Once you plateau in Phase 3 we’ve verified that your metabolism has slowed. This is due to the low calorie levels of Phase 3. At this point it is important to transition back to Phase 1. This will help to rev up your metabolism so you can continue to lose weight.

It takes a leap of faith to return back to Phase 1 because you are increasing calories. But it is an important step on your journey of losing weight. It is a step you must take.
