Level 4: Stabilization follows the meal plan of Level 3 with the addition of starches at lunch. With the goal of consolidating the results obtained, carbohydrates are gradually reintroduced. You can eat starches: rice, pasta, bread...
You stay at Level 4 until you have reached 100% of your weight loss goal. If your weight loss goal is 15 kg, you must stay at this Level until you have lost 15 kg. This step allows you to slow down weight loss (approximately -0.3 kg per week) while preparing you to return to a balanced diet. This is the time to acquire all the dietary habits that will ensure your long-term victory over excess weight!

Allowed foods during the stabilization phase of the weight-loss diet
The stabilization phase is the last step before nutritional balance. With the return of starches, you will finally be able to eat pasta, rice, or potatoes. With these complex carbohydrates, you regain all the macronutrients of a balanced diet. Add a protein and vegetables, and you will have your lunch!
Starches and legumes during the high-protein diet
Starches such as bread, pasta, and semolina are rich in complex carbohydrates. These carbohydrates provide our body with the energy it needs throughout the day.
Reintroducing starches and legumes will be very important to avoid shocking your metabolism. These foods rich in slow sugars should be gradually reintroduced into your diet.
During Level 4, we recommend adding 100g of cooked starches to your lunch.
Bread
Choose it as little "white" as possible. The more refined (and therefore white) the flour is, the richer the bread is in fast sugars (complex carbohydrates)... Therefore, prefer good country and grain breads rather than the traditional baguette.
Pasta
The only "issue" with pasta is... the fatty sauces (store-bought or "homemade") made with lots of cream, eggs and bacon bits that accompany them! To be avoided, therefore... As for the pasta itself, they are excellent sources of energy! Think about homemade bolognese sauce or pesto.
Rice
From the starchy food family, rice is the second most cultivated cereal in the world. Whether you choose it Thai, brown, basmati... it will be ideal for your lunch! Accompanied by bolognese, spicy or mushroom sauce, you'll enjoy eating it.
Potato
En papillote, salads, mashed, jacket potato... Enjoy potatoes as you wish, but especially without frying: french fries and sautéed potatoes are not part of the basics of dietetics!
Legumes
Rich in protein, fiber and minerals, legumes will be perfect for your lunches. Beans (black, red, white), lentils, peas, fava beans... Think about salads: lentil salads, chickpea salads...!
After Phase 4 of the Cétofine 21 high-protein diet
You are now close to dietary balance. You will now stabilize your new weight by learning the right reflexes that will definitively ensure your victory over excess pounds. At the end of this stage, you no longer need to lose weight, your weight is stabilized and you are done with being overweight. Your caloric balance becomes neutral and is no longer in deficit as required for weight loss.
You can continue to consume high-protein sachets. This can help you maintain good eating habits and prevent cravings. Protein sachets will continue to provide you with satiety and essential amino acids.
In case of dietary excess (fast-food for example), you can follow a strict diet day the next day (one day and only one to avoid disrupting your metabolism). This will allow you to spread out the calories by reducing your caloric intake the next day thanks to protein sachets.
