The reset happens in Phase 3. I typically increase my calories over the first week, using 11 x body weight as a guide and then adjust as needed to maintain the weight through P3.

I can tell you that for me.. before my first round I could eat 1000cals a day, exercise like crazy and be lucky to lose 1 lb a week. After my first round, I was eating 1800 cals a day with no issues. After subsequent rounds, at my goal weight that daily number is more like 1400

Thanks Beth - that is SO reassuring!

I haven't really lost very much though, even on the 500 calorie diet...about 4lbs in 15 days (including load weight but I don't have much to lose and maybe I have no more abnormal fat to go)...and that was before the cheat...I've just been stalled at this weight for aaaages and wonder, maybe I should try increasing to 800 calories of P2 foods and seeing if I gain or maintain?
