The best carbs to eat at any time in the way of eating or weight losing are those on the Induction list of the Atkins plan or whatever Protein Power Plan allows. That is mostly salad & green vegetables. White ones are OK (cauliflower, cucumber, spaghetti squash, yellow squash & wax beans). Use tomatoes sparingly - just part of one - and avoid yellow/orange veggies for now (carrots, winter squash.)

Dairy stalls some people so watch the cheese & cream if you are not losing. Also nuts can stall some people.

Atkins says to increase carbs by 5 gm for the 3rd week (= 25gm daily), then go to 30 for the 4th week, etc until you stop losing. However, your best carb level may be higher than thee 25 on induction. So try it out.

Good luck,
