Hope this is okay to post here…
For anyone that might be interested, I’ve started a blog to document my journey following the meal plans in this book, because I’m a little bit obsessed with it.
Check it out, I welcome feedback 🙂

Just been reading your blog and it’s great to see someone with the same difficulties with Phase One that i’m having. Mainly time spent prepping food!

Today is the start of my second week. No weight loss in week one despite sticking to it entirely, and my IBS bloating is still bad. How long did it take for you to notice your IBS symptoms lessening? Also, did you just repeat the Phse One diet week in the book every week for four weeks?

Thanks!

Hi Katie! Thanks for your message.

I didn’t have much weight loss or IBS improvements during Phase 1. It really started to kick in during Phase 2 and also when I introduced fasting. I think Phase 1 is really about getting your gut ready to support a good population of gut flora that will do good- a bit of a cleanse to wipe the slate clean so to speak.

I’ve only done phase 1 once. It was the most challenging part in terms of the time it took to organise and prep. I still intend to do a clear guide for this phase in the coming weeks. At the moment I’m a week back in to Phase 2 and having good results in terms of mood and weight loss. Fasting is the big key for me I think. I try not to eat from 8pm and 1pm. It takes a few days to get used to but it’s surprising how quickly you can accustom. On the days I simply can’t manage it I have a smoothie made with kale, berries, yoghurt and almond milk around 10am. The key then is to have very diverse gut friendly meals to support your gut and quicken your metabolism.

Good luck, I hope you get through the rest of Phase 1- it is worth it. I will work on Phase 2 plans and lists this week and hopefully have them ready for you to follow in time!
