Phase II - Realimentation
Phase 2
of the Protein Sparing Modified Fasting diet is called Realimentation. Once you
are within 5 pounds of your goal weight, we will gradually reintroduce grocery
foods back in to your diet under our professional supervision. This purpose of
this 4-week process is to slowly increase calories and restore digestive
functions from fasting mode back to their normal capacity. Upon starting
Realimentation, you will receive a detailed packet with information on which
foods you may eat from each food group and the correct portion sizes and
calorie counts. Click

Metabolic
Testing - at the end of week 4, we will conduct an impedence test and use an
indirect calorimeter to measure your metabolism. From these tests, we will
design an individualized meal plan that will let you know just how many
calories you personally can consume each day and maintain your weight within 5
pounds. Dr. Morgan feels this information is vital to your success in
maintenance! The customized meal plan will include foods that you like to
prepare, eat, and shop for. Most of them also include your favorite meal
replacements because they are so portable, affordable, and easy to prepare!
