Default Re: end of week 2 - advice needed

I would move on to OWL and start up the rungs....you can add new foods which will help when you have those "hungry after a couple hour" feelings. People think by staying on induction you'll loose faster but that isn't necessarily the case with everyone.

Don't worry about not experiencing the energy rush --- I never did either!! I know I'm in keotsis even when the weight isn't leaving because of the taste in my mouth & strong urine smell - plus I'm still loosing inches -- but I never felt like I could kick the world with additional energy...I think there are many who don't get that.

You don't have to rush up the rungs, the first rung is 5 additional net carbs of veggies -- they can be what gets you through when you get hungry -- you can stay on a rung a week, a month or indefinately -- that part is up to you.

Give OWL a chance -- you'll like it. Check the OWL thread for more info. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...loss-owl/'

Good luck!!
