The Maintenance phase involves the consumption of all foods you discovered you are able to consume during the weight loss phases of Atkins. Since you only tried foods up to fruits, eating 50 carbs and having a stable blood sugar, how do you know you cannot tolerate whole grains and legumes "at all"?
I agree with not2late. You need to read the book to understand how to do Maintenance correctly (just because it takes a while to get them is not an excuse for you not to order them since your first post at ADBB was almost two weeks ago---you would have probably gotten the books by now). Induction is quite mindless, but Maintenance is individualized to fit
your needs, not those of member X or Y, which is why it is impossible to teach someone "The Maintenance Phase in a Nutshell".
At your weight (terribly low!), you should take your diet very seriously as you cannot afford playing with your health and doing things the way you did them up to now. This involves reading the book and sorting out the issues you have with your doctor.
What have you done diet-wise since your previous thread on this Board?
