Phase 1 will only be for week 1 (the first seven days) of the challenge. It consists of equivalent amounts of proteins, fruits & vegetables, and fats. There are NO starches eaten during this phase because we are really trying to gain entrance into our fat stores so we can begin using them for energy. This phase will boost our metabolism for optimum fat-loss in the later phases.
