Hi Wawtigress and Welcome!
Well, it looks like our group is growing. Good to have another on board. I progressed to the OWL today, I am a bit intimidated by the extra carbs, but life must go on and I must be able to add more food for this to truly be a WOL instead of an induction phase.
I'm looking at the Protein Power way of thinking, personally I think it offers more variety and more balance, but it also requires more thought for sure. On that plan, not only do you keep your carbs low, you are required a certain amount of protein per day by calculating your body fat and lean muscle mass (which I unfortunately have very little of .) Anyway, I'm lucky to be able to count the 20 to 30 grams of carbs per day, much less keeping up with 50 to 60 grams of protein. I will keep reading until I really get a grasp of it, but in the meantime, it's Atkins OWL.
Look forward to reading more from you, just remember, water till ya slosh!!
Good luck and happy low carbing!
