If I'm reading your question right, you're asking about if you should go back to phase 1 because you aren't losing weight or because you ate extra carbs one day rather. I would say that you would never go back to phase 1 from phase 2 because if you hit a plateau on phase 2, you should be going to phase 3 and gaining 3 pounds then back to phase 1 to shed those 3 pounds THEN back to phase 2 until you hit one gain. I doubt those few extra carbs from the wedding cake did much to you other than making you tired ;)

Since you are trying to regulate your metabolism with this diet, you should follow the phases as stated in the book, so if you think you need to go back to phase 1, you must hit phase 3 first (and it might only take a day or two if it's the first time on phase 3, took me no time at all! LOL), that way, you've reved up your metabolism by eating more calories and phase 1 will do what it's supposed to, get you back down to where you stopped in phase 2....then you should lose on phase 2 for longer than the first time.

Does that make sense??

Hope so, if not, just ask :)
