If you are out of ketosis, you should do Induction for a few days until you get back there and then continue from where you left.

But OWL Rung 1 requires eating 5 g net carbs more of vegetables. "More", that is over the 3 cups you had during Induction. You should also get over half of your net carbs from vegetables, which I'm not sure it happens unless you eat a bunch of lettuce.

Are you having enough fat in your diet? Doesn't really look that way from what you posted. Atkins is high fat, moderate protein, low carb and excess protein can be converted into glucose.

I have moved this thread to the "Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL)" forum.

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!"
