This is the 2nd part of a 2 part vlog that I put together on how to have a successful phase 3, and why a steak day works.

This is part 2 of a 2 part video on how to have a successful Phase 3. It is for those who are struggling on phase 3. If you are following low-fat and doing okay on phase 3, then this probably doesn’t apply to you. I also discuss why I think steak days work. I hope you enjoy!
