“Steak Day”
Themaintenance phase begins the day after completing your very low calorie diet, Day 27, and lasts for three weeks. During this phase you will increase your caloric intake to 1500 calorie a day including three meals and snacks. During this phase youmay eat anymeats, fruits, dairy products or vegetables you would like. It is very important, however, to stay away from starches and sugars. The goal here is to not gain anyweight. Although it is not uncommon to gain a pound or two during this period, should you gain more than 2 pounds in one day it is recommended to observe a day of fasting which is called a “steak day”. During a steak day, you drink a lot of water, with coffee or tea as desired, and for dinner consume a large unsalted steak with a vegetable or fruit. Anyweight that is gained will be lost within the next day or two.
