What am I eating on Level 2 and how does it work?
Level 2 Game Plan
During the reintroduction period of Level 2, the protocol helps lock in the new set point for metabolism and identifies hidden food sensitivities or allergies that may not have been obvious prior to starting the program.
Start by adding in one new food in every day. Stick to the Level 1 food list 100% on reintroduction days so we can clearly identify that the new food impacted the sensitivity as it is new to your system since you began Level 1.
Betr App:
Continue to upload your food and weight daily to learn how different foods may impact your body. This way you can review any symptoms that may occur by checking your recent activities. Follow the plan you build rather than the app’s timeline.
Exercise:
Start engaging in higher intensity exercise 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes at a time. Do a combination of cardio, interval training, and stretching as it helps build strength and endurance. Or find activities that get your body moving without thinking of it as a “workout” like playing basketball, swimming or brisk walking on a sunny day. Your body is now ready for the challenge!
Level 2 is unique for YOU!
Throughout Level 1 you’ve discovered the most effective ways for you to see success along with your plan. Our goal is to expand your variety based on your preferences.
Get prep started by making a plan with the meal prep sheet. Put a star* next to the foods you’re planning on reintroducing for the upcoming week.
I like the food choices on level 2

Cheese! Finally. This will be great on my eggplant lasagna. Can hardly wait.

Salmon yes
Anyone know the meaning of “Rest Day”?
I think Rest Day refers to not introducing a new item
The basis of this diet is Level 1. As you add foods, you are testing your body’s reaction to them. If you are reacting poorly, you may have loose bowels, stomach cramps, your skin might break out, your nose might start running, you could feel short of breath, have swollen ankles, or your weight will shoot up over night. So you try it, then “rest” for 24 hours and see if your body talks to you. After you lose all your weight, and for the rest of your life, you will rely on Level 1 to keep your balance or to return to balance. I heard Dr. Ferro explain how he does it on his Tuesday call a few weeks ago. If you splurge on a business dinner, or birthday cake foe a family member, or your anniversary, you always have Level 1 to bring your body and your confidence back to balance again.
That’s a day to stick to the Level 1 foods, see what effects the additions of the day before had on your system.
I’m so excited to start level 2!
Looks good.
Rest day means you do level one for that day. It helps with letting your body know if the new food you reintroduce is good for you.
Mushrooms, so glad to see you on the list.
Looking forward to another phase of this awesome Betr way of life!!
