Can I skip OWL?

[kay_508]

Okay, so I only have about 5 pounds to lose, as I've stated a few times before. I love atkins because of the effect on my blood sugar. Someone once mentioned that I should be on Pre-maintenance since I only have 5 pounds to go. But, is it possible to get to Pre-maintenance without going through all the rungs in OWL? I'm a little confused. Any help to clarify would be great. I couldn't find any explanation in the book.
Thanks.

Premaintnenace is doing OWL with 10 net carb additions instead of the 5 net carbs.

OWL is the greatfood experiment of ATKINS where you learn what foods in each food greoup effect your craving controls and weight loss. You need to move now and climb the ladder while you have weight to lose you do not want the clue that this a badfood group for you to be weight gain.
Nor do you want to be like those diet in a can folk who have not been using the tools of their eating program to practice how to eat in the realworld and portion controls and how to save themselves should a food or food groupcause trouble before they blow it all on a huge carb pig out.

Move to OWl read your DANDR and all our stickies and add theose veggies!
