What is "modified" OWL?

[texwife&mom]

I have seen this mentioned in the stickys above and in other posts. What is it?

I think it is when you go through the rungs of OWL without doing the constant 5g carb increase. I've seen Atkineers stay at 20-25g carbs and go through the rungs which means they are still losing the weight a bit more quickly (than a standard OWLer) but doing the OWL rungs.

Thank you, I am a little slow today, I have a bug. I have just found 2bigs post above on how to do OWL. Sorry guys!

Modified OWL is when you keep your carbs at the Induction level (20 maximum) while going up the OWL carb ladder.

You'll need to swap 5 net carbs of your Induction menu for your OWL food, though. It works for some folks. But for others, they hit a long plateau and they don't break out of it until they begin adding carbs.

That's why I think unless you have a high metabolic resistance to weight loss, it's best to find your CCLL and eat around that carb level.
