  • Should I Continue Atkins????

    I have been on Atkins inductions for the past 2 months and without sucess of losing any weight. With dissapointment, 2 weeks ago I fell of the wagon and decided to give up. But after being on Atkins for so long, the only advantage I felt was not feeling hungry, bloated and full of energy. I decided to go back on. Anyhow I went back last week, (in total was off for 1 week), and decided to stay on Atkins.

    I miscarried in November at 3 months, and due to medical reasons had to wait for 6 months. I was really hoping to loss at least 14-20 lb before I try to concieve. With no luck in losing weight, I am thinking to try again. I gain alot during my pregrancies and due to medical condition am not too mobile. I really do not want to ballon up, plus it takes ages to shed my weight, and that even is limited.

    I have been reading the forumn and threads and believe I can continue with OWL, or Pre-maintance. I believe it should be safe.

    I have misplaced my DRADR book. What would be allowed it OWL and what about the ratios??? Do they stay the same as the induction??? I read coconut, oat, melon, are allowed??? How much do I consume??? To date I have been limiting my carb to 20g. What would my maximum carb intake be if I go OWL???

    The only phase of Atkins recommended for pregnant and lactating women is Maintenance Phase.
