Hi everyone, new girl here. I'm just beginning my low-carb/high-protein lifestyle. I do not have the book, however. I am planning on buying it in a few days. I do have a few questions. First of all, I don't understand the whole 3-phase system. (Induction??? Ketosis???? LOL) What foods should I be "able" to eat in each phase?? How long is each phase?? Also....what about diet soda?? Is it all right to drink??? Also, how much weight should I expect to lose in each phase??? How much should I exercise and what kind of exercise (I own a treadmill)??? And finally, what can I eat when I eat out?? (Anything besides meats (chicken, steak, burgers- those get dull after a while.) THANK YOU! Good luck to everyone!!
