Induction Vs. OWL
I am very pleased with my weightlose this far... and i am just alittle shakey about adding in carbs... i do really well staying at 20 net a day...
I guess it would be nice to add in some other foods... but how drastically will my weight lose slow?? I know it will get slower and slower automatically but when i move to OWL what should i expect? any suggestions would be great. |
Me too
Rachelle--
I am with you. I'm very happy with my progress during induction and just read the Atkins chapters on OWL. I'm not sure if I am ready to do it or not. I know I m only supposed to add 5 carbs per day, but in my mind I can see myself adding 5 carbs per meal....hmmmm. I think though, that adding an extra legal vegetable at dinner might be my way to start. Page 174 in DANDR gives a list of what equals 5 grams of carbs. Definately open to advice and suggestions.

What works for one person doesn't always work for another, right? Well what works for you today may not work the same way 4 months from now. Just as you get tired of the same thing day after day, so does your body. A few berries, some nuts, a few more servings of veggies - this may be exactly what you need. If nothing else it will add some variety to your menus, and that alone can go a long way to keeping you sane and on plan! Cheers, Nat |
This was a question I was also wanting to ask. For a while I've stayed on less than 25 net carbs, longer than I needed to since I normally stay on the same menu for months.
Over the past weekend, I ate foods that I didn't eat in a LONG time (good foods though! just higer carbs). My net carb was > 30g, total carb was like 60's I think!! I noticed that staying higher carbs gave me much more energy and MUCH better 'movement'! lol And, I also lost weight. Actually met my goal, although I'm still fluctuating up & down. Nat, I see what you mean by how each person needs an individual plan. But seeing that you've had success w/ higher carbs, I want start doing that as well. But I'm so terrified of gaining the weight back. I feel that maintenance will be much harder than losing weight part. How long have you maintained your goal? I'm bit too thin now, but I don't want to gain weight back. Don't want to go thru the yo-yo cycle EVER again. Any tips? Do u have any suggestions for books that focus heavily on maintenance? I find your posts incredibly helpful btw. Tons of information ;) Hugs, Rose |
