 Re: Can I eat "oopsie" rolls/bread on OWL rung 1? | |
Oh darn, I have a really bad memory when it comes to usernames! You "not missing anything from a low carb diet" reminded me that I replied to a post you've made in the "Review My Menu" forum on May 6th: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...e-my-menu.html (Weight loss stalled-please rate my menu!). There you were eating only 1/2 of lettuce and approximately 7 servings of sweetener. Did you change that by cutting down on sweeteners and adding 5 veggie net carbs to the veggie net carbs you had from 3 cups of vegetables during Induction? You might want to post an updated OWL Rung 1 menu, to make sure no more pauses in your weight loss will occur due to incorrect food choices.  Quote:

Experiment with new recipes and prepare foods you enjoy, but do so by closely following the rules of the Atkins phase you're in.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
