As long as their weight stays within two pounds of the weight reached on the day of the last dose, patients should take no notice of any increase; but the moment the scale goes beyond two pounds, even if this is only a few ounces, they must on that same day entirely skip breakfast and lunch but take plenty to drink. In the evening they must eat a huge steak with only an apple or a raw tomato. Of course this rule applies only to the morning weight. Ex-obese patients should never check their weight during the day, as there may be wide fluctuations and these are merely alarming and confusing.

This is used on phase 3 when one exceeds to +/- 2 pounds difference from the last dose weight to make a correction.

Abstain from all meals until dinner.  Then eat the following:

• One large steak
• One apple or raw tomato
