This sounds like a good little strategy for me to keep in my back pocket - allow me to take a breather from expectations & then start fresh - but I'm now sure how to figure out how liberal to be with my carb levels. Right now I've been staying within the 20-25 carbs a day window... sometimes less, usually between 20-22 & never more than 25.... I'm just wondering how you transitioned into Maintenance - slow & planned or a little more quickly?

How do you work out how many carbs you can have? Do you work up though OWL & Pre-maintenance to figure out your carb levels?

Seeing as my weight loss is at about 2 lbs a week on average (more like 4 or 5 every 3 weeks ) & bound to slow down even more over time, it looks like it'll take quite some time to get where I'm going .... While I'd like to stay at my current levels until then, I'd like to have a back up plan as well that can help me deal with vacations, extraordinary events etc.

Thanks!
