Yes, It looks like I am Metabolic Resistance is average 15 - 40 net carbs per day. So I guess I should move on to Rung 1. If I'm reading correctly, I should just add another 5 net grams of veggies for the next week and see how it goes, meaning, still having a weight loss, right?? Code: Degree of Metabolic Resistance for Men...................Pounds Lost in First 14 DaysPounds to Lose......High........Avg........LowLess than 20.........4...........6..........820-50................6...........9.........12More than 50.........8..........12.........16Degree of Metabolic Resistance for Women...................Pounds Lost in First 14 DaysPounds to Lose......High........Avg........LowLess than 20.........2...........4..........620-50................3...........6..........9More than 50.........4...........6.........12Metabolic Resistance........Approximate ACE Range.......High.................15 grams of carbs per day......Average...............15-40 grams of carbs per day.......Low..................40-60 grams of carbs per day..Regular exerciser*........60-90 grams of carbs per day*In this context, a regular exerciser is someone who does vigorous exercise five days a week for at least 45 minutes.

Yes. Your degree of metabolic resistance is between average and low. This means that your CCLL is somewhere in the 15-60 range. If you exercise regularly though (as Dr. Atkins defined "regularly"), then it is probably in the 60-90 range. If you eat the same vegetables as you did during Induction, then you should just add another 5 g net carbs. If you add a new vegetable though, you should only eat it in 5-net-carbs amounts every other day.
