No I ease in2 it, if you dont refeed right the weight just goes on again. Thats why im doing 1 more week on the total, that gives me 2 weeks refeeding right, although it says from day 4 you can have 2 small meals & 1 shake, im gonna stick too the 1 meal & then I will relax on my holiday, but im gonna try not just pig out, dont wanna be right back where I started lol. Ah hopefully the meds will kick in soon.x
