Hi...The phases were an invention of Trudeau in his book....Simeons who wrote the hcg protocol did not use that terminology. we use it here because it helps differentiate where you are on the plan. Phase 4 is lifetime maintenance, or the break between rounds if you have more weight to lose. During that phase, you try to add back in some carb foods, very slowly while monitoring your weight and doing correction days if you go more than 2 lbs over your last injection weight. There are threads on here for the various phases, look on the main screen for the forum, you'll find them. Hope this helps.
