What Rung of OWL are you on?

Re: What Rung of OWL are You on?

I went through them all. Had some problems with individual foods, which was good because I know now to either avoid them or be extra cautious whenever I do eat them.

Berries here. I REALLY need to work on portion control with berries.

Joy you are looking GREAT!
(and good for you on quitting smoking!! I quit 4.5 years ago, Its tougher then quitting carbs Great work!)

Re: What Rung of OWL are You on?

Thanks TOC!

I think quitting carbs was harder!!!!! Somehow, I got out of ketosis when I quit..probably overeating my atkins carbs....but let me tell you, the sugar cravings just about drove me crazy...they literally drove me to tears and an argument with my DH!!!! I had to go back to induction.

Starchy veggies here. So happy to have lima beans again!

If I can get myself in gear, I'll be in grains soon! I planned to move to grains at 130, but instead of losing that one stubborn pound, I've gained 3 at last count (perhaps I should stop counting!) and am now back up to 134. Ack! I didn't cheat -- just too loose with portion control again. That's my biggest challenge in OWL. So now I have to lose 4 pounds to get to grains. Wish me luck -- I really miss oatmeal!

I am on the berries rung.

TOC: Why don't you buy snack bags and portion the fruit in 5 carb increments. I have to do that with my fruits and nuts.

This is a real good idea! When I get to my nuts, berries, etc. rung I think this is what I'm going to do to help me.

Thanks for the tip!

Now I've moved up from the Dairy Rung to the Nut Rung since the poll was created.

Re: What Rung of OWL are You on?

I am in the last rung the grains but so far have really just stuck to the low carb wraps, have not tried to eat rice yet or spaghetti, don't know if I ever will as long as I am content without it. Was reading about the popcorn, don't think I can go there cause when I want popcorn I want A LOT of popcorn.

I hear you on the popcorn -- but I found out now that I'm satisfied with 1/2 cup of ice cream (I used to eat a full bowl) so by the time I get to popcorn I may not want as much as I used to and it may not be a problem.

Have you gotten satisfied with your food easier now than before you started the program?

Re: What Rung of OWL are You on?

Oh I definitely know I am eating less. I think between portion control and satity (sp?) I am content with less.
