    i melt when i eat more vege... it stops when i take less

    i noticed that when i dont eat enough vege (only 1cup a day) i stop melting...and the scales doesnt move. its when i eat more vege, within the amount allowed...that i start losing weight back/melting.

    is there any explanation to this?

    You need good nutrition to lose weight. Atkins isn't about eating as few carbs as possible.

      During OWL (and the rest of the Atkins diet), you continue to eat those 3 cups of Induction veggies PLUS whatever OWL foods you eat. So you should NEVER be eating less than 3 cups of the Induction veggies.

          when you eat less veggies what do you eat more of on those days? that could be the melting stopper.

            It's in the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002). You're reading it, right?

                Most people have great success eating a lot of veggies. It's great that you learned that very quickly!
