 Re: Anyone think I would Benefit from spepping up a Rung??? | |
The Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) phase of Atkins is divided into "rungs"... which together form what is called "the carbohydrate ladder". If you don't have the book (I've just seen you live in the US... so go buy it, it's just a few bucks!), there are some stickies on the board explaining how one should do OWL: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ction-owl.html (Introduction to OWL) http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...te-ladder.html (The OWL Carbohydrate Ladder) http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...rules-owl.html (The Rules of OWL)
As to whether moving to OWL will increase your weight loss rate, it really depends on every person. But in my opinion, 20 lbs lost in about 6 weeks is excellent! Don't expect them to come down overnight. Are you exercising?

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
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!"
