Default Re: Decision input

OWL is ongoing weight loss. Generally the weight loss is not slowed at all on the first rungs. It will be as the carb count increases with the higher carb food down the road that you will see the slowdown, as you start trying to find your CCLL on later rungs.

What a great induction menu. I see no likelihood that your extra 5 carbs of vegetables will slow your loss one bit. Some folks find that the move to OWL brings a 'whoosh.' Introducing new foods helps you find out which ones are your 'whoosh' foods and you might get lucky. (Imagine my joy when it turned out strawberries are my whooshie food!)

Sounds like you could really use your fiber, and again, let me compliment this well crafted menu, not too many sweeteners, a good balance of meats and veggies, keep using good oils and butter on your veggies to keep the fat/carb ratio where it needs to be and I think OWL is right for you. Induction is only the start of the marathon, the springboard, that is all it is supposed to be.
