⏳ What Happens After I Complete the 12-Week Programme on the Total Plan?
Your Next Steps Toward Continued Success
Completing 12 weeks on the Total Food Replacement (TFR) Plan is a fantastic achievement — well done! To continue progressing toward your goal safely and sustainably, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines for Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) cycles.
✅ Step 1: Take a 2-Week Refeed Break
After 12 continuous weeks on the Total Plan, you must take a minimum break of 2 weeks before starting a new cycle.
During this break:
- Increase your calorie intake to around 1000 calories per day.
- You can do this by:
- Adding conventional foods using the New You Switch Plan
- Including an extra product and a healthy snack each day
- Combining New You products with balanced meals
This period allows your body to rest, refuel, and adjust while still maintaining a calorie deficit.
📈 What to Expect During the Refeed
It is normal to experience a small weight gain of 5–7 lbs during this time. This is due to:
- Replenishing glycogen stores (which bind with water)
- Increased food volume
- Digestive system adjustments
This is not fat gain but a natural part of the transition. Remaining consistent and mindful during this phase will support your long-term progress.
🔁 Step 2: Restart Your Next Cycle
After your 2-week refeed, you can simply restart your next 12-week cycle of the Total Plan to continue working toward your goal.
This structured approach:
- Supports safe and effective weight loss
- Helps prevent plateaus
- Encourages long-term sustainability
