I've got a question that has been keeping me up at night: when I get there, what will be the gap between my CCLL and CCLM numbers? How much room for error do I have? I know it is different for everyone, but it is still helpful to have some sort of frame of reference.

So... will all of you diligent Atkins people who know their CCLL and CCLM numbers respond to this so I and others can see how well we need to 'mind the gap?'

Thanks so much and have a great day!

I never got to my ultimate ccll because I had to jump to maintenance (due to pregnancy) but I was up to 60 or so net carbs a day and losing no problems. When I jumped to maint. I was still losing at 90 NET carbs (90 net but I was at 120 or so carbs if I didn't subtract the fiber) a day so I had to resort to raising my calories or I would have just kept losing. You might try doing a search, there was a similar poll not too long ago.

Thank you!

I lose at 21-25.

At 30-35 I maintain.

If I eat over 40 though I gain.

I'm resurrecting this thread in hopes that I'll get more feedback. Although I am on the West Coast (in North America) and it's almost 11:00 so I'm not sure how effective this will be.
