owl question

[lisadallasr]

Hi everyone, ok quick question, which im sure is asked on here before but here goes, ok i just want to see if i understand this, i have read the book and im currently in rung one and am at 25 a day with extra veggies, now what i want to know can i go up 5 more carbs with more veggies or do i have to stay at 25 with the extra veggie and go up to rung 2 to get that extra 5 if that makes sense, i love veggies and right now that is where i would like to add more of, to see if i can handle it. Right now im losing more inches than weight but i have not stalled so i would love to go up 5 more to 30 and stay there for awhile and then move up to rung 2.

Hi Lisa! Yes, you can do it that way if you want. You can stay on the veggie rung adding 5 net grams each week (or longer interval) and then later go on to add rung two, then three and so on when you are already at a higher carb level. It's all about how you want to work it out - that's what is so great about owl. I know some people stay on rung one until they find their CCL while others climb the rungs while they add 5 net and others that add a rung without increasing overall carbs. From what I have read, though, I wouldn't recommend keeping your carb level lower than necessary to keep losing because you can actually lower your CCL that way and that's not what we want long term! Hope I explained that in a way that makes sense. If not, I hope someone else will say it more clearly. LOL! You're doing a great job! Keep up the good work!

I stayed on the veggies rung for several 5 net carbs additions as I love vegetables!
