Default Fitday percentages for OWL 1

In extended induction I tried to keep my carbs below 20 and at 5% on the fitday tracker. Now that I'm in OWL 1, my percentages have jumped to 8% on some days. Is that what I should be shooting for, or am I indulging too much? I LOVE my extra cup of veggies. It's such a treat, but I don't want to slow down my weight loss too much either. Is there a guide for what percentage I should be at in OWL rung 1? Thanks for any help.

Default Re: Fitday percentages for OWL 1

During Induction, the percentages should be around (I'm underlining that because many people think the numbers are written in blood ) 65-5-30. But as you add more carbs in OWL, the carbohydrate percentage will increase as long as you are eating the same total number of calories. Protein should stay the same during all phases of Atkins: 30%. But as long as you are increasing your carb level, the carbohydrate percentage should go up, while fat should go down.

There is a more detailed explanation here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...rcentages.html (OWL fat/protein/carb percentages)

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!"

As long as that 8% does not mean that you are too low on fat and protein (I mean in amounts not in percentages)
