  • Finally trying out the rungs, how long do I stay..

    I started Atkins on July 7th and lost 10lbs, then had a hard time leaving the comfort of induction. I finally decided I needed to get going and started adding more vegetables, to the best of my ability, over the last week and a half or so. Well I don't know if I was particularly successful adding vegetables. I was already eating broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc.. at dinner, and salad with acceptable vege at lunch many days, eggs with vegetables at breakfast many days. Way more vegetables then I ate before. So I did start buying pumpkin and ate that fairly often over the last week and a half. I decided this week to add dairy because I felt I needed the variety. I had a serving of FAGE tonight, emailed the company last week to find out where it was in my area. I also purchased some cottage cheese, Those are really two of the only items off the top of my head I can think to add. So how long do I stay on each rung. Also I'm not supposed to eat the FAGE everyday, but do I alternate FAGE Mon, cottage cheese tuesday, FAGE wed. etc.. Or day I eat one of the other Mon, Wed, Fri, for example and then eat dairy next week every day. I read through all the stickies, but was still confused. I just don't want to move up to fast, nor too slow.

    I also wanted to add, where do I find the percentages my daily diet should be. I loaned my mom my book so... For today it was 61% fat, 25.6% protien, 13.4% carbs. 37 grams of carbs and 8 grams of fiber, (not sure how accurate today's fiber is, I think it's more.)

    I would alternate the yogurt and the cottage cheese weekly. See, if you do yogurt MWF and cottage cheese TuTHSu, then what happens if you stop losing weight? Is it the yogurt or the cottage cheese causing it?

    You can stay on any Rung for as long as you want. The minimum is 1-2 weeks.
