The Flex Diet does include three different phases. The phases are:
Today – These are changes you can make immediately, or today. This phase is two weeks in length and involves doing things like weighing yourself daily, drink six glasses of water each day, call your doctor, become someone’s coach and close the kitchen after dinner. In this stage you can lose five pounds by making some of these changes.
Every Day – This stage is three weeks in length and allows you to lose ten more pounds. This portion of the plan is where you introduce meal plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The book includes several recipes to aid in the planning of meals. Additionally you will receive some tips on what heart healthy exercises you can implement.
