Dropping weight so fast... what should he do?

[bsquare12]

Hi Everyone

My husband and both started on January 2nd.

I've lost 13lbs, but my husband has lost a staggering 26lbs.

He is in OWL, and has introduced nuts/berries now - but, he is actually not far off his target - he only wanted to lose around 30-35lbs max.

He never expected it to drop this fast, and obviously hasn't had time to go through the rungs (lucky him eh!).

Should he go to pre-maint?

How does he now get all those food groups in without going through the rungs?

I would suggest he follows the OWL rungs but maybe adds 10 net carbs at a time if he likes so as to establish his CCLL/CCLM.

I doubt that eating Atkins will allow him to lose more weight than is good for him and that as he gets close to what is the ideal weight for his body the losses will slow and stop.

I agree with Elizellen.

How many carbs is he eating daily currently?

25-30g carbs at the mo.

Of course, I hate him right now.. this is the first diet he has ever done... and it's dropped off him..... so, of course, what does he say, oh dieting is easy!

Hmmmm! Typical!

Well, after you slap him around for a while , you should tell him to get his hiney up the carb ladder. Men, honestly!
