I am starting my second round. My first I did the 40 days. (With the days I skipped it came to 47) I lost 30 pounds in the first 21 days and then it took the next 4 weeks to lose the 12.

I am thinking about just doing 3 weeks and then taking a 3 weeks break and then starting again.

I just wanted to know if any of you do that and if you think it is a good idea.

Thanks

Done it along with many of my friends and it works just fine.

Do you think you lose more if you do it that way?

It really depends on how successful you are at sticking to Phase 3. If you don't follow the "NO starch, NO sugar" of P3....then you will constantly be gaining back too much.

I liked doing 3 weeks and so did my friends because you do lose the most in those first couple of weeks, so it keeps you motivated. It also works better for me...with vacations, social functions, and being able to tell myself "You can do anything for THREE weeks"

How long do you take between the rounds?

I've had friends take a week break up to a 3 week break...It's really whatever you want and/or can handle I design mine around vacations, trips, and socials. Just make sure you have a least those 3 weeks while on P2 and then YOU decide your break...

can you do three weeks even if you are not planning another round of phase 2? thanks vickie

Absolutely KT is the one who made the rounds longer....Dr. Simeon started with the 23 day rounds... If that's all you need....Go for it
