ACE CCCL - Can I do it the wrong way round ?

[Jennyxxx]

Hi All !!

yesssss I reached goal :joy Actually I reached goal over a month ago but I have been away.

I know it is no excuse and won't bore you all with the details but I was not able to screen myself properly during OWL to calculate my ACE etc

Now I am back home I really wanted to see if I can work out by ACE etc properly because I must admit during OWL I was not able to up my carbs much at all - I added new rungs but I was never really over 25/30 net carbs ever.

I had a hard job shaking off the last pounds but got there in the end.

What I had planned to do - if this is considered viable - is to start the rungs again.

This week I have been stable on about 20 net carbs (and up and down on the scales 300 grams each day). I planned on upping the carbs next week to 25 to see what happens.


I finally managed to get 2 kilos of soya flour from the UK and also a big jar thing of Splenda so I wanted to try some lowcarb pita bread or something.

Can I go about it this way or is there a better way.

Thankx in advance for any comments

Have a great w/e all

I'm going to move this over to the Maintenance Forum because they will be able to address your dilemna better.

Congrats on making goal :joy

If you were losing slowly at 30g carbs, you probably want to shoot for 40-50g for maintenance. You'll just need to experiment to find a good balance. Since your weight will fluctuate day to day, just watch that you don't gain over 5 lbs. Cut back if you start gaining and add if you find you're losing again.

I don't aim for a daily goal, but more of a weekly average. Some days are closer to Induction, depending on what I feel like eating. Other days I move up the ladder. I watch what I eat closer when I start gaining a couple of pounds.

You can either take that route or pick a place on the ladder to start and move up or down according to whether you're gaining, losing, or maintaining.

Thankxxx not2late :nod

Thanks Laura .... and congrats on your wonderful pics !! you look wonderful.

I will try as you said - I am starting swimming now every day so I hope that will also tone a bit.

I am just so pleased with how the diet went - I am getting everyone hooked ! .. they see me looking so well and so full of energy.

It is difficult here in Italy .. they live on pasta and rice and pizza .. but even my b/f is doing a modified version and has lost 8 lbs! (Of course poor thing is getting it in the neck from "mamma" 'cos he's eating too much fat ecc - but he's holding out!)
