Another moving on to OWL question

[ShiningStarr]

Ok...so here is my question...I know that after the 2 week induction I know it is best to move right on to owl, so this is what I am planning to do. I also know that when you go up the rungs you are supose to add 5 carbs per day of something off that new rung (if it is a new food then only 3 days a week), and I also know that during owl you are suppose to be finding you CCLL. So here is my question. Are you suppose to stay on the veggie rung until you reach your CCLL (so I could possibly be eating 80 carbs per day with just veggies)...or do I work my way up the rungs adding 5 carbs day until I have tried all the foods I want and then moving up to the next rung adding 5 carbs then... Is that confusing... Maybe if I put it like this.... Is this right

Average carbs on induction....20

Rung 1 - 25 carbs
Rung 2 - 30 carbs
Rung 3 - 35 carbs
and so on and so on

or is this right??

Rung 1 week 1 -25 carbs
week 2 -30 carbs
week 3 -35 carbs
and so on until I have met my CCLL at which point I move on to Rung 2

If the second one is right where do I start at for rung 2??? At my CCLL or at 25 carbs??

Any help clarifing this would be great!! I hope my question is clear??

I did it the first way. now I get to find out if it was right

Re: Another moving on to OWL question

Both ways are valid - and we have members who have done it either way with success.

Sometimes it is hard to know if your weightloss stops whether it was the extra 5 net carbs or the new food doing it, so many add either 5 net carbs or a new food but sticking to the same number of net carbs as the previous week, then maybe adding 5 net carbs more the next week.
