Maybe I should go to owl. I was just afraid that I would loose weight too slowly. I still have about 20 pounds to get to my goal weight. I'm starting to get so confused!

The last 5-10 lbs should be lost in Pre-Maintenance. Most of your weight should be lost in OWL. OWL takes a long time and losing weight as fast as possible is not a good strategy in the long term.

5 net carbs of vegetables will likely not slow you down. Then you can go from there, 5 net carbs at a time.

Thanks! I am definitely going to think about starting OWL on Monday since tomorrow is the last day of my 2 week induction, plus Sunday is always grocery day so I can gear up for the week's menus.

Think about it???

How do you figure that an extra 5 net carbs per day of Induction vegetables will hurt you?

I feel that I do good with my veggies. Could I add back nuts or cottage cheese first?

OWL Rung 1 is vegetables.

Then you can add back fresh cheeses (like cottage cheese), yogurt... milk, if you wish.

Then come nuts.

My advice is to follow DANDR.

If I can do induction for 2 weeks, then I can wait another week for cottage cheese.

<<I feel that I do good with my veggies.<<

How many net carbs per day are you getting?

Atkins is more about the vegetables than anything else ... regardless of what phase you're in, having more than 50% of your daily net carbs coming from appropriate vegetables is good.

Default Re: Atkins Products Okay to Replace Meals?

After reading the Two Week Essentials chapter on "Are you ready to move on?", I have decided to do induction until I am at 128 pounds. My goal weight is 118, maybe 115, and I am at 137 right now. I read in the "Two Week" book that I can add nuts at this point without going on to OWL. That's my plan and I'm stickin' to it!
