Should i wait to eat fruits until pre maintence?

[angel_glitter_45]

Doesn't it seem insane tho it could take months and i would only have like strawberries raspberries sunflower seeds and a few other nuts added to it in the on going weight loss. What are your views?

have you read the book?

we dont wait until pre-maintenance... after our two week induction you can move on to the "Ongoing Weight Loss" phase, in which we add certain foods back each week, nuts and berries included....

How about you head over to the OWL forums and read the stickies so you can work out when to add them back in?

Emma is right - berries are on the fourth 'rung' of OWL, so if you move to OWL after your first 14 days on induction and spend 2 weeks on each rung you could be eating nuts in 6 weeks and berries in 8 weeks!!

If you're on the right rung and the foods don't affect you adversely, there's no reason to hold off until pre-maintenance.
Having said that... I know the feeling of maybe wanting to do that... I did it with alcohol... tried it at the correct rung, then left it aside until maintenance; but I think that was because I know that the odd glass of wine is a weakness of mine, and I didn't want to succumb! Lol
I say... enjoy your berries, at the right time!
