Thought I was on OWL, apparently not

[partytrouble]

Hi yall,

I thought I had started OWL rung 1, but realized yesterday that I had been adding veggies per the 'Weight of Veggies per Cup' Induction spreadsheet, not the OWL 5 gram carb spreadsheet. HA! Sooo, I have been adding ONE CUP per day of veggies, not 5 net carbs of veggies. And my favorite is celery with blue cheese dip, so I have only added 2 net carbs per day!

Anyway, I end up totaling out at 20 carbs per day with the extra cup of veggies, and I am still losing, so I will continue this 'Extended Induction' until my vacation at the end of the month, then move to REAL OWL when I get back.

I guess I was having a blonde moment, but for a whole week!

Michelle,

Doing Atkins by the book is mandatory to get the best results and there is a very specific process you have to follow (there are 9 rungs after Induction). You really, really do need to read the 2002 edition of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. Until you get the book, there is plenty of information available in the stickies located near the top in each of the forums. Start with the Induction Forum and carefully read through the stickies.

Edited to Add: I wrote earlier to start in the Induction Forum, but acutally there are more stickies in the Low Carb Dieting FAQ Forum that I would start with. Here is the link:

Re: Thought I was on OWL, apparently not

I didn't get OWL the first time around (AND I had the book---doh!)...I just figured induction was the 20 carb limit and I ate from all the rungs after the first 2 weeks but stayed at 20 carbs! Somehow it worked..... LOL...... So technically, you could move up the rungs of OWL but may have a CCL lots lower than someone else right? Even at the induction magic number of 20?
