Plan: Atkins
Stats: 158/146.4/138 Female 5'9"
BF:
Progress: 58%
Location: Northern CA
Arrow The Plan:

Induction until I weigh <150lb.-this is the weight I consider "normal" for me.
20 carbs or less per day.
Whole foods only.
Induction-list vegetables only.
No sweets of any kind except Splenda and AceK
No cheats whatsoever, weigh in every five days, chart weight loss per 5d.
Baked products allowed only in emergencys, only ones I know
are not triggers (LTF tortillas, CarbSense cookies, flax muffins)
*I'm guessing I'll be loosing about 2 lb/5d, should take untill about the end
of Oct.; about three weigh-ins.

OWL
Transition to 30 carbs/day by 5c incriments
Track weight loss for 3+ weigh-ins at 30c/d
Add-ins:
more of slightly starchier vegetables (more onions, tomatoes, pods,
avocado, etc.)
LTF tortillas
nuts&seeds
more of lower carb condiments and sauces, yougurt occasionally
*I 'm guessing I'll loose about 1-1.5lb/5d down to about 145 about
mid-Nov.

Back to induction, see if you can go back to loosing more for 1-2 weigh-ins, just to check if this strategy works for the future, or if my metabolism adjusts to Atkins.

Transition to maintenance by 5c incriments starting about in Dec.
Continue to weigh in every 5d. When WL stops, this is my CCLM.
Add Ins:
Higher carb whole grain/soy products: LC bread, bagels, cereal
Berries sparingly
Higher carb vegies/legumes like carrotts, peas, beans sparingly
Still no SA, Aspartame, or stallers, as these may affect CCLM

By new year I should know exactly how my body handles every phase of Atkins and be able to keep up sucessful maintenance!
