But people are saying you have to be on OWL rung 4 in order to put fruit back into the diet, even berries. But I've lost 10 pounds since May 19, 2009 and my body has lost a ton of inches around my stomach.
As long as I'm still losing is it ok to eat the berries and stuff for dessert like I have. I also eat quite a few vegetables, yet all the time I am still losing. So what do you all think? Should I keep doing what I'm doing. |
What you do is up to you... as for this board, in the ADBB Terms of Service and Mission Statement, it reads: "Our underlying values are founded on the Atkins approach to weight loss from the 2002 edition of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 DANDR), which we believe to be the safest and most nutritionally efficient method in existence."
As Skinny Girl and fofinha indicated, you are not doing Atkins. You are doing your own version of low carb. If it's working for you - great! However, it is my responsibillity to point out that it is not in keeping with the rules set forth in the 2002 DANDR.
Good luck to you.
