My Progress on OWL

[toyamcgee]

This is just a message to all those who may have extended induction and are stalling. I was one who thought I would extend induction for a long while. However, I decided to at least give OWL a try before making that decision. Well, during my first week of OWL, I lost an additional 3 lbs. That's more than I lost on the 2 weeks of extended induction. So, keep an opened mind and at least give OWL a try. Dr. Atkins' set this WOE this way for a reason......because it works!!!!

Good luck to all!!!!

Re: My Progress on OWL

congrats. be sure to check your inches lost too cause the scales doesn't always validate our hard work doing our atkins.

Very cool! You're right, sometimes OWL is the best way to keep the weight loss going - especially if you're very active and are getting bored with the food choices. OWL is really where you want to spend most of your time losing anyways. I find OWL to be very pleasant. The most pleasant eating plan I have ever been on. I think I did Nutrisystem for YEARS and still never got to my goal weight and when I got close, I couldn't hold it there for more than a month. It was a constant battle and I was so HUNGRY. The more active I was the more "carblust" backlash I got! With this WOE I can attain both my body fat goals AND my activity goals! For once all my activity is NOT making me gain weight due to out of control cravings - but after heavy training and during certain times of my monthly cycle I am still able to maintain control. My cravings are totally under control for the first time since I was a thin teenager. I feel like I have my life back and OWL is totally something I can do long term - forever if I have to though I won't have to. Maintaining my weight now feels like something that will actually be EASY. It was definitely not before I came to Atkins!

Keep it up and enjoy your journey.

Good for you.

OWL is when the Atkins Diet individualizes for each person. It's a shame people think it and Pre-Maintenance can be skipped.
