Maral, yes you are correct. Phase 2 you start introducing some carbs, 1 at a time to see if you can tolerate them. In the book tells you which ones are better to start since some of them will raise your insulin and will trigger cravings. What I did before when I first did SBD, after a month on Ph1, I decided to do a mix of PH1 and PH2. this way I continue to see a weigh loss and was able to avoid the triggers. You need to see what works best for you.
