TRANSITION

You begin Transition after you have reached your goal weight. Transition reintroduces you to foods you previously put on hold – foods such as fruits, low-fat dairy products, whole grains and higher-carbohydrate vegetables. Transition gradually adds calories back into your diet, while giving your body the appropriate time it needs to adjust to the new levels of calories and carbohydrates. The 5 & 1 Plan helped you develop healthful eating habits, such as portion-control and eating 6 times per day. Transition and Maintenance reinforce these patterns of healthy eating to help you maintain your weight loss results.
