I took me months of Atkins to reach this low weight, the point is that I can't stop it even by raising carbohydrates to 50 grams.
1. How long did you stay in Induction Phase?

2. When did you move to OWL Phase? That is how many pounds from goal were you when you decided to move to OWL Phase?

3. How fast were you going through your OWL Phase? If it took your months of Atkins to reach your low weight, then most of those months should have been spent in OWL Phase and you should have found your CCLL long before you reached a BMI of 18.8.

4. Also, why haven't you move to Pre-Maintenance Phase? You are probably at goal or past your goal weight. So you should have moved to Pre-Maintenance phase when your were 5-10 pounds from your goal weight. So why didn't you move to Pre-Maintenance?

At this point, you should be on Maintenance Phase.
