Committing to the Omnitrition diet is a difficult but rewarding journey. And reaching the Omni drops phase 3 is a great achievement. This is the maintenance phase and dieters are now off the Omni diet drops and need to increase the calorie intake through consuming approved omni drops phase 3 recipes. This will last for three to four weeks with the daily intake of 1,200 to 1,500 calories from the 500 calories of the Omni diet phase 2. It is critical that this phase is followed as faithfully as the previous phase as this is when the hypothalamus will reset and clear off the poor eating habits of the past.
A dieter’s weight will go up and down a bit for the first week or two, however, this is normal and nothing to be worried about. It is important that you watch the starch and sugar religiously during the three weeks. Use only healthy fats and dairy products to up your calorie intake if necessary. Drink enough water and get your sleep.
